Just a question on setting up raid 0

I currently have WD raptor 74GB 16 MB cache and
WD raptor 74GB 8 MB cache hard drives, does the cache difference btw the drives cause any problems or performance issues as this is my first time trying to set it up.

thanks

I believe the only thing you need to worry about is disk size for addressing purposes. Other than that I think your performance might drop .001% due to one disk having less cache, but it won't effect in which order the information comes in. Just the speed. If I remember right, you could even partition one 500GB disk to have a 74GB partition and use that as well although it won't be 10k rpm :p

Someone confirm/flame me on this? :D
