You wouldn't even have to put the seagate into a raid array?

see my specs there below, that's exactly what I do.
You have to be careful about what backup software you use though,
because alot of them don't recognize the raid0 on a full restore from a boot CD.
(use Arconis True Image, works like a charm)
