The 100Gb can be used for backup, put in the other PC as a storage device etc.

I imagine this will mean a complete reinstall of the OS and rebuild?
As far as I am aware you cant have raid 5 on SATA.... I thought that it was a SCSI only thing...

Perhaps you mean 0+1 or stripe+mirror - this uses 4 identical drives.
