A 1TB internal Hard-drive or two 500GB?

Hello,

I'm wondering if a 1TB hard drive will be much quieter and less demanding than two 500GB drives.

I've got a 1TB external drive for backups, but my girlfriend uses sampled instruments, which require lots of space for the libraries. And she keeps adding new libraries, so I want plenty space.

Do two drives work more efficiently for this?

I'm thinking about the 'Western Digital Caviar Black':

Type: HDD
Interface: SATA
Dual processor
32 MB cache
Speed: 7200
Size: 1024
Form: 3.5IN
PowerReq: 15
5-year limited warranty
£64.96 inc VAT

Or is there any obviously better choices?

Thanks.
