Would there be a big difference from a 7200 rpm raptor and a 10000 rpm raptor in a raid 0 configuration? Is spending the extra $$$ worth it in this situation?

I’ll probably grab an cheapo large capacity external HDD for misc storage and archiving then, since 150gb isn’t a whole lot of room these days
