Just finishing up building my first computer. Im planning on using a raptor for my system drive and a 200gb for my storage. I was wondering about Raid 0 with raptors. I read somewhere that having them in raid 0 is not much faster than having just one. Is that true?

You should get some performance increase with RAID 0. Basically it splits a file up between multiple drives so when the file is read back one drive head can be reading part of it, another drive can be reading another part, therefore getting the file read into memory faster than with just a single drive.
The disadvantage with RAID 0 is that there is no redundancy. If a single drive fails the entire set will not work until the failed drive is replaced and the data restored from backup.
