Defragging the drive will reorganize all the data to be next to each other for better performance. I will usually defrag my drive once a week if I am using it heavy. Honestly, make sure you have a good hard drive as well. Check out the Western Digital Caviar Black. Those have very good performance for the price. I would not use RAID for my audio drive, unless it was maybe RAID 0 (which isn't really RAID, but uses two or more disk for better performance).
Ah right and raid 0 not 1 (duh), never really messed with raids so I mix up the numbers. . .
