It fits what I believe to be about right for that drive.

He has 2 of the same drive. Would raid0 actually double that throughput? (seeing as the controller is SATA2).

Not double, but close. It all depends if he can afford the flakiness (data loss wise) that RAID 0 has inherently.

You have better sustained speeds</edit>
