So, I'm lookingto get a new HDD and I'm not sure what to get. Should I get a 10k rpm one or two 7,200 ones and set them RAID0. Also, which one is faster than the other? ANy help would be appreciated.

there are three possibilities:
1. true hardware raid: you just connect the hdds to the raid-controller and it'll appear as one hdd to the os. expensiev.
2. pseudo hardware raid: you connect the hdds to the raid-controller, install some drivers and it'll appear as one hdd to the os. not expensiev.
3. software raid: you connect the hdds like norma and setup a software raid in you os. even windows supports that, although i don't know how to setup windows ON a software raid. for free.
