RAID on two different drives

[tahirahmed]

Hello,

It is a weird question i think, but i think i should ask it . Can i run RAID on two different drives ? I have one WD Caveir 60GB and a 160GB Seagate SATA. I know they are totally different in specs as well as capacity but i just want to test RAID and its benefits.

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, you can build a 60GB RAID1, a 120GB RAID0, and 220GB LINEAR RAID and 120GB faulty RAID5 from this 2 drive.
On linux of course....

Just want to see performance boost.

and Janos do you mean its not possible on windows ? I use linux but only 10% (For university work ). Rest of the percentage is allocated to Windows

BTW Thanks for the replies.

I know, some of the raid is can be build on windows too, but the linux support is really flexible.
