You would be better off if your RAID configuration was handled by the hardware.

It seemed to me that linking them at the controller with RAID 0 (disk stripping, no parity) would be better. At the very least, I assume the controller would efficiently stip the data between the two drives, as opposed to NT, which will fill up one drive before moving to the next. (There's a question whether the RAID 5 controller could be configured as RAID 0.)
