I have 2 of each, for a total of 4 320gb WD3200AAKS's. I've tried RAID 0 performance via. ICH9R, and single drive performance.

Old 2 platter versions (single vs. RAID 0):



Single Platter (one drive only...i didn't save RAID 0 benches?):

I have read something on Anandtech about the 320 GB version. It has less power and noise but was also slower then the 640 GB version. Is was intended like this so they can use it in low power / low noise systems.
