Broken Raptor in Raid 0

[barbary]

Hello,

My computer shipped with 3 Raptor X drives in Raid 0 array. One of them has packed up and the company that sold me the computer has now gone bust.

I have RMA'd the broken drive back to WD but that was over 4 weeks ago and still no new drive. The delay comes from them not having any Raptor X drives in stock and now they are saying I may have to settle for another replacement drive. (possibly a VelocRaptor)

Can I make this work in a Raid 0 array or do I have to have another Raptor X?

Thanks for any help.

It will work just fine.

totally try and get them to ship you a velociraptor. they are so much faster you might benefit running it solo depending on what the performance of your raid0 was prior, or selling your raptor X and buying another. the 150gb VR is the same price as the old 150gb raptors most places now, but significantly higher performance

Thank you for the helpful answers and the quick response.

That is a weight off my mind.
