IF you are looking for pure speed, then the Raid 0 is the way to go.

Be warned though that there is no data redundancy, so if one drive fails, then all the data on them is lost.

Two of those in a RAID 0 would be pretty blazing fast, if you are willing to spend that much to get it. Just make sure you have a 3rd drive that you daily backup your RAID'd drives to... In RAID 0 if a drive fails or anything happens to it, the entire array is toast.
