Which would be best to set up for a media server. If I understand correctly, both set ups will show up as a single drive.

RAID0 is suitable when you need of "extreeme" speed performances. Considering that the 323 unit uses the gigabit ethernet interface and it is not a so fast unit, it will never reach the maximum speed of the disks.
JBOD will be the best choise for your need.

Thanks again

Personally, I'd choose RAID-0 if those are the only two choices.  You will get slightly faster speeds (I've done this), and since JBOD will lose your data just as fast with a drive failure, you might as well squeeze all the speed you can out of it.

Raid0 will only work with 2 drives of the same size,
if using different size disk, the RAID0 will be 2x size of smallest disk,
then you will have a 2nd volume with the rest of the sapce

JBOD will work with different sized disk

[gunrunnerjohn]

Well, since he didn't specify the disk sizes, I'm assuming he's buying disks and will buy them the same size.

well "assuming" makes an "ass" of "u" and "ming"

I don't know who Ming is, but, at least its not me... 

[jamieburchell]

Isn't that: assume - ass of u and me?

I'm not so sure of that, you assumed that he had different sized disks, right? 

[Buhric]

Nope, I explained both cases... at least that's what I was aiming at...
If its not what it looks like, well you can start calling me "Ming" 

[gunrunnerjohn]

OK Ming, whatever you say.
