I have nearly maxed out my internal hard drive on my mac book, so i'm looking for a new harddrive. Should I be woried aout getting one with raid built in suh as the lacie little bug disk or the maxtor one touch iii turbo raid? Or will just having 7200 rpm be okay? I have had disk errors in garageband and get the occasional 'here are to many tracks' warnings with the internal drive. Also, if i got a hub and linked up 2 hard drives would i then be able to use the software raid in osX? Thanks for your time cheers

NEVER put your apps somewhere else than the dedicated application folder on your system hard drive. Never move Apple apps from their original place either.

Some apps won't work as advertised if moved, and it can be a bore to update too.

Now audio files can be moved at leisure, and should be so.

There are ways to move securely user accounts or app folders around, but it's geeky and not necessary given the size of current drives.
