PLEASE HELP!! raptor hard drive raid 8mb cache and 16mb cache

will a raptor 36gb 8mb cache work with riad (1) (where they both write for
speed, )on a raptor 36mb with a 16mb cache

because i have a raptor with a 8mb cach and want to buy another one and
there alot cheaper buying a 16mb cach an the 8mb cach ones are rare to find.

thanks
daniel

Hi daniel and tasha,

Any RAID array will always work better when it is equipped with identical
drives. It is possible that an array with matching drives of a slower speed
will out-perform an array built of faster drives if those drives are not
matching. You can try, but for best results I would buy 2 identical drives
and use those. By identical, I mean the same manufacturer, size, speed (RPM),
cache and interface (SATA/PATA).
