Yes. But you don't need that much speed unless you're doing something
extraordinary. And recording three or four HD programs at once doesn't
qualify.

If you're seriously considering RAID0 you'd be better off just using the
drives as independent storage groups. At least then you won't lose
everything when one drive fails.

Cheers,
Steve
