I don't think it really matters, unless you're using something besides
RAID 0 for security, backup etc. and are really concerned about a
portion of the card or a drive failing.
The best startup configuration that I've ever had with SCSI was two
Fujitsu 9GB 10,000 rpm drives set up in RAID 0. Very fast. But,
remember, the data is written across both drives as a single volume. If
one fails it takes everything out.
If I had a need for RAID today I would buy large fast SATA drives and
a133 MHz card to drive them.
If there is a need for real work to be done, then I will redundantly
say, FireWire JFR's.
