I haven't had experience with that particular brand, but I have had problems with Raid arrays and ProTools audio..crashes and the like.
If the intention is to get a bigger volume by turning two 4gig drives into an 8 gig drive, it will actually slow things down if you have a lot of tracks in your ProTools session.
If it is for video, the data rate off of hard disk for video is less than 48 tracks of audio, and the seek requirements usually aren't as bad.
It would be nice to have one big 1000gig partition to store everything, but I think single big drives work the best.
Also, try to keep your drive as one big partition instead of splitting it up into smaller partitions. After a while you will forget that the two drives on your desktop are the same physical drive and split a session's audio between the two drives. The one drive will have to work twice as hard and you will end up with DAE errors (drive not fast enough or fragmented)
