So I have a 360Gb 5400RPM drive and a 7200RPM drive in my desktop.
Is it a good idea to replace the 360 one with a 1Tb (also 5400rpm) in my other laptop and set up a raid0 with the 7200rpm drive?

i thought raid had to have identical hard drives

Apperently you can mix a 5400rpm with a 7200rpm but he 7200 will get bottlenecked to tge speed of the 5400rpm
But raid0 gives 2x speed 5400x2 = 10800rpm. Or doesnt it work like that?

im pretty sure setting up raid doesn't make your disks spin faster. the reason it works at double speeds (if i recall correctly) is that one half of the data is stored in a harddrive, while the other half is stored on another harddrive.

also, if you have a 1tb harddrive, and raid 0 that with 120 gb ssd, i think you get the storage of the ssd, and the speed of the harddrive, which i think is kinda similar in its case
