Help!

I'm buying a new PC, will use it for web development. Use all the common web-development apps, and Adobe PS and IL.

The machine will be hooked up to a LAN and it will share a partition, so that I and a developer may work on the same sites without having to constantly swap copies and keep track of versions and such. Am planning on getting a Dell, with an 80G Hard drive and 1G of RAM.

I'll also install a rack, which I will use to swap in alternating hard drives for daily backups.

I am offered the choice between SATA and RAID for hard drives, and despite some searching, can't find a simple explanation of the difference. What do these terms mean?
