Hehe i *always* run my IDE rigs (at work...) like this. But still it's noticeably slower.
Something i forgot to mention is noise. 1 HDD is less noisy than 2 HDDs. Since i'm in the process of building a zero-fan total-silence config, i'm limited to 2 drives (sandwitched around a HD block - aiming at Dtek's one). So it will be a 15K.3 for the speed-hungry things and a 10K.6 for bulky things.
Both drives will be around a HD block, the whole thing silenced with foam and suspended. My goal is to hear the pump.

(edit) to come back to the topic at hand would you trust a 1y warranty on a HDD ? I dont. And S-ATA will have that 1y warranty as well...
