honestly, no. a high quality 7200rpm, < 11ms seek time SATA hard drive will do just fine. if you have a desktop machine, just add more internal drives.

i prefer seagate barracuda and hitachi deskstar drives, others will have other favorites.

avoid any hard drive labeled as "green" - the power saving functions are not suitable for Pro Tools

RAID isnt really all its cracked up to be reliability wise, and is completely unsupported by PT
