Ok, let me try these suggestions and re post. The RAID 0 would be for a fast solution to store large HD video files quickly, using one of the other drives as a back up solution. This velociraptors already spin fast so I'm not sure if I need the RAID 0 or not. Thanks for the info. I'll re post later.

That makes sense too considering they are faster than any other drive I have. Thank you, I will accept this as advice and re post for instructions on how to simply add hard drives to an existing system. Thanks for the advice.
Neilsr: Per my post above RAID 0 can be useful tool for creating relatively cheap, fast and large volumes for parking transitory / temporary files on, e.g. raw AVCHD VIDEO, database dumps, system images..... Wouldn't want to use if for anything critical, but it is a useful toy.
===========
Do NOT use a RAID 0 array.
You have zero redundancy. If you lose one drive, you lose the lot!!
You can not recover from a single drive failure in a raid zero array, there is absolutely NO point to having one. Just have 2 1TB disks.
