as you fill up a HDD, it will get slower. Don't ever trust the manufacturers performance numbers.
IMO, RAID-0 is overrated...I've been there and never went back. The performance was not noticeable through daily use. The only time I've ever considered RAID again is to run RAID-1 (mirroring) for backup purposes.
If ultimate performance is what you want, get a SSD.
The price of SSD drives has plummeted in the past 3 months, and they are actually affordable now. (although still expensive compared to a HDD). SSDs are the future, and the higher end ones will blow the Velociraptors away.
I'm just waiting for the Intel X-25s to go on sale again, and can't wait to install my OS on it.
