I currently have 3 of the 500GB Hitachi's in a RAID-1 configuration
using linux software RAID. So far, so good.  

In response to someone else's question, the mostly random reads are
pretty well balanced between the disks, judging from atsar reports.
Adding the third drive definitely helped read performance.
