hi. i bought another maxtor 200 diamondmax10 7200rpm IDE hard drive for my system. i found out that the one i already have is model 6l200P0 with a 8mb cache:

the one i bought at staples for 40 after rebate is the 16mb cache version 6l200R0:

now the 8mb cache is on master and the 16mb is on the slave. is there going to be a problem for my raid setup? these are identical drives except for the cache. would putting the 16mb on master make the raid faster?

I doubt there will be a problem. Except maybe the 16MB cache on one of the drives will not be fully utilized.
