Kind of, the logical disks will compete for the stepper motors, but I'm 
limited to 2 physical disks, and I want a "reliable" area and as much 
space as possible for the remainder, this box will eventually be a HTPC.

I think it is quite rare for the "fake" raid devices to support this, 
but any "real" raid controller worth it's salt would do it, any board 
which has ICH7R should do it, and RAID5 too (though I note you're not 
ready for that yet, and as I only have two disks I can't use anyway)
