What problems, if any, would arise from creating a RAID 0 array with a Samsung 840 (non-pro) and an 840 EVO, both 120gb? Intel Z87 chipset.

Thanks

performance inconsistency, basically. Nothing mind-blowing. Just wouldn't be as awesome as a pair of EVOs.

Any greater risk of data loss than with matched drives in RAID 0? I have backups, just curious if it's worth making the effort. Probably not, but sometimes I feel the need to tinker ;)

Having worked in support for one of the major raid companies, there is always an increased chance of failure with mismatched drives, not definite, but definitely an increased chance.
