Default HDD's on GA-7N400 (SATA/IDE/RAID)

i'm starting fresh with 2 WD120SE's and 1 Maxtor SATA 80. i have a large
music/video library served from my computer. I plan on putting the OS on the
SATA. any suggestions for the WD's? Should i run through Nforce or the
Gigaraid? And if Gigaraid, should I RAID?
Which port is better for non-RAID?

Thanks,

As to the WD 120SE's, Raid 0 is the way to go. I use Gigaraid on a pair
Maxtor Diamont Max 8's and I'm getting a transfer rate (on large files) of
over 90MB/s. Installation is easy and the data just flies in.

The Maxtor SATA 80 ( in a box ) I'm not to sure of. I'd look at the drive to
be sure it was the 6Y080Mo.
