Hard Drive Question

Hi guys I have a question about hard drives.

I currently have installed a 120 GB Seagate sata drive http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...148-017&depa=0

I want to add another hard drive, I'm looking at this one a sata 150 160 GB http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...148-034&depa=0


Now according to Asus tech support I can do this in a raid 0 configuration. He said the benefit would be about a 5 second loading time on maps. I'm not buying the drive specifically for that reason, I just need another drive for all the junk my wife is putting on my PC. He said in a raid 0 configuration windows will see one drive and I wont be able to choose which drive I want to store the junk on. That being true, will I reap the benefits of installing a better more costly ($25) second drive, or will I still get my 5 second increase on map loading if I buy the same drive I already have? I plan to wipe my existing hard drive and do a fresh install of everything. Thanks
