Can you get more than two by placing a second order? I'm trying to get three and would like to avoid ordering & canceling if I'm truly limited to two.

The RAID 1 array that has my games are 5900 RPM Seagate's. They seem on par to 7200 RPM drives to me. The platter speed is not the only thing that matters.
