It sounds like you had a RAID0 stripe with those 2 Seagate Barracuda drives. You will notice a difference when going from any RAID0 stripe to pretty much any single drive setup, to maintain the speed benefit you’d need to get a REALLY fast single drive. There’s not really a whole lot that can be done.
If you have the choice of using a SATA or IDE drive as a primary OS drive, use the SATA every time. Regardless of any other stats on the drive, the SATA will be lightyears faster than any IDE drive.
