Sir_Siddy Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Im not planning to do this for a while but I want to know if its possible to set up RAID 0 with two harddrives. One HD has 160 GB and the other one has 250 GB.Im guessing that I will have a 160 GB RAID 0 partition and a 90 GB normal Partition. Is that how you would do it?

TheTerrorist_75 Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I believe that the RAID setup just won't "see" the rest of the space on the larger drive. You would essentially have a 320GB (2x160GB) RAID setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Siddy Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Would the speed increase of RAID 0 be worth the loss of 90 GB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I don't know. I'm happy with the speed of my single EIDE hard drive as it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxkbxx Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I'm 99% sure you have to have identical makes, models, and sizes for a Raid 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
