Hi,
I was wondering if I can RAiD two different brand HD's each 30 GB each with one at 9ms seek time and the other 12ms. Would the performance gain be worth it? will I encounter problems with the different seek times?
Thanks,
Mike
 
Theoretically you can do that. But, I read so much about people having trouble with RAID and losing all their data, I'm not sure I would do it. I'm running RAID 0 and I don't think the performance increase is worth the added data risk. I do see improvement in sustained HD use, but in regular use this just doesn't happen. If I were doing video editing or something like that all the time, I would really want the RAID, otherwise the improvement is minimal.

If you don't have the option to set it up as suggested by the manufacturer, your chance of failure increases and the improvement you'll be seeing isn't that great anyway.
