I am about to get a 3rd hdd and i have never used raid before. I have a 200 GB SATA 1 drive a 250 GB sata 2 drive and (soon) a 500 GB sata 2 drive.
Can i make identical sized partition on all 3 drives and set up some kind of raid 0 on them ? Or do all drives need to be the same size for this to work ? What will happen to the rest of the space i got left on the bigger drives ?
Assuming im not wrong about raid 0 - the one where data is shared among drives to get better performance.
I don't know if u need to know this tho u might need to ... currently im using the beta ver of win 7 x64... i can change back to vista x64 if the OS gives me problems and my mobo is (soon) Gigabyte GA790FXT.
