Western Digital 500GB Raid Edition

I need a new hard drive to off load stuff for vista readiness.

I spotted this review of 500GB drives over at xbit labs:

Claims that WD's 500GB Cavier and RE drives are market leaders currently. I spotted a good price for the RE version at eBuyer:

I think I will go for it together with a OEM copy of Vista Ultimate edition (Ultimate? Sounds like some fad from FF7 - Cloud's Ultimate Weapon...).

Not sure if I should go 32bit or 64bit - I saw pictures over at engagdet that suggest you could get both with one serial key....
