I have DNS-323 with 2x "Seagate ST31000528AS 1TB, SATA-II 300, 7200 rpm, 32m" inside. Working in Raid 1.
So yes it will support 2x1TB drives.
However you should check the compatibility of your drives before purchase.

Two 1.5TB Samsung EcoGreens in mine. Not sure if it supports 2TB models.

Why RAID0? RAID0 is usually used to increase performance, but that performance comes with a greater risk of data loss - based on my testing there is no performance gain on the DNS-323 - and therefore no valid reason to incur the increased risk.
Perhaps you might like to do your own tests.

indeed i don't need "performance".
simply, i've a lot of divx, mp3 and so on that i should use from my brand new ps3... in raid0, i can have 4tb (since one user has 2 hd x 2 tb each) of my stuff easly accessible from my ps3.
raid1 is "too much" since the content is not so "important".
PS: for example, for the included itunes server you can specify just one folder... in raid1 you "waste" space. with no raid one hd is "unused", with raid0 i could have 4tb of mp3!
PPS: sorry for my weird english!

Your english is fine - I just want you to be aware that with RAID0, the risk of data loss is doubled.

compared to RAID1 it's even 4 times higher (in terms of risk * space, you have the doubled risk of loosing double the amount of data).
if space is important the only alternative would be single disks (JBOD has the same risk as RAID0, all data will be gone or at least really hard to restore if one drive breaks)
