New hard drive
I currently have a 160 gb hard drive and I am thinking about getting another one.
Can I put both of the 160 gb to run RAID 0?
Will it be hard?

You will have to live with two separate partitions unless you rebuild the OS completely.
RAID0 is inherently the least safe type of drive configuration - KEEP BACKUPS, as your chances of losing everying are doubled (vs. non-RAID), because the loss of either drive means the loss of everything.

Raid 0 Striping is not recommended and over rated. Risk of loosing everything on both drives if one failes, but get to use all capacty of both drives.
Raid 1 Mirroring is better as you will have an auto backup of your drive, but not beable to use the full capacty of both drives as you would with raid 0.
Best option is to not use raid at all, use the drives separate and do Image backup.

Yes they are great drives, very fast, but loud.

ok Thanks
Would you recommend the 74gb Raptor?
