IDE and SATA together in a RAID 5 ?

[Kamui]

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody tried putting up a raid 5 array using a combination of IDE and SATA drives? I am planning to use a LSI megaraid sata 150-6, 1 300 GB IDE seagate HD and 3 300 GB SATA Seagate HD.

Would this combo work if I put a IDE-to-SATA converter into the one IDE HD?

Thanks

Intresting question. I'd like to know the answer too.

Just do RAID5 with the 3 drives and use the IDE for storage.

yes, with a SATA -SCSI converter

kobymu, I dont think you understand my question... btw, those sata-scsi converters are wicked...but hell expensive.

ops... my bad
to you'r original question, pata to sata converter should do the trick but there not cheap either.

/edit
although a lot cheaper then scsi to s/p-ata, somewhere between 30$ to 50$ i think.
