Buying 2 matched pairs will probably give you better performance but I don't think it will show much of a difference. You will waste 1 GB. The 460GB external drive is probably your bottleneck. If you are not using ESATA and if you can use ESATA, switching that will probably make the most difference. Get the fastest drive with the biggest cache you can find.
