I store the raw files on the second (internal) hdd and use the main hdd for the OS, Sony vegas and finished files. It seems to render videos faster than when I stored the raw files on the first drive with everything else

# That's what I'm aiming at
Faster video editing. A quick Googling suggests that two HDDs is probably better than one but I'm having trouble working out if RAID 0 is enough faster to cancel that out.

I'm guessing not.

# You guess right, in the scenario you describe RAID will decrease performance.

# Cheers both.
now to decide whether I can be arsed breaking the RAID array or just plug in the external drive when I want to do some editing.
