seriously, get a 3ware controller; you'll never want a box without one
again. even a 2-port one is $130 well-spent, even on a home machine.
though it sounds like advertising, Carl is perfectly right...

I've had particularly good results from the 3ware 9500 series 4port
controllers. They run about $325 US dollars. I work with a company
that archives massive amouts of video data, and before a client is
ready for the 15 SATA NAS, you can get spectacular results out of a 4
port with PCI interface.

but if I have 2 drives like that, what should I do if one fails?
if the data drive fails, then you have the OS drive to use to recover your
data (if possible); or at least to quickly set up the new data drive.
if the OS drive fails, you put in a

I agree that 3ware controllers are good hardware and worth the money,
but I suspect you are comparing the time of swapping an internal
drive vs. a swappable cage here. It's not that hard to type
an fdisk command followed by an mdadm --add command.
no,

should I use the 250Gb for the data only, or
