I've got a couple of IDE hard drives lying around (1 x 40GB and 1 x 60GB)
but no spare IDE slots in my PC.
I've seen a fairly cheap "2 port IDE RAID (0,1) ATA133 PCI card".
Unfortunately the shop doesn't give details of the manufacturer of this
card.
Can anyone tell be if they've tried (and succeeded or failed) to put mixed
size drives in a RAID 1 formation?
I'm guessing it would be possible as long as you only used the equivelent of
the smallest drive for all drives (in my case 40GB from each drive giving me
an 80GB drive).
