Hard Drive Selection

Can someone help me decide which hard drive configuration in their opinion is preferred for a Dimension 9100 I am ordering.  I am trying to decide between the single 250 GB Serial ATA vs the double drive 320 GB Raid 0.  The prices are comparable.  Are their definite advantages of one over the other? Thanks.

Advantage to RAID0 - more space. Slightly (insignificantly on the desktop) faster.

Downside of RAID0 - instability. Your chances of losing everything are doubled, since the array depends on two drives - lose either, lose it all.

Go with the 250GB or 320GB RAID1
