raid
I've got some generic RAID controller built into my motherboard and I want to build either a RAID 5 or RAID 0+1 array. What are the disadvantages of running unmatched drives? Like 4 different brand 7200rpm 500gb drives?
This would determine whether I look around for whatever used drives I could get my hands on vs. paying extra for a set of matched identical drives.
