Can I use F3 or F1HE103UJ HDs to add to existing RIAD0 w/ HD103UJ

[jdwilkin]

Folks,
I have an existing RAID0 that uses Samsung F1 Spinpoint HD103UJ drives and want to add more drives to the RAID0. Does anyone know if the RAID will be OK mixing in the enterprise version of the F1 called the HE103UJ? Or, how about using an F3 with my F1s?
I know they all have to be the same exact size (1TB in my case). Just not sure if they MUST be exactly the same model

Thanks!

Hi newcomer and welcome to the Tom's hardware forum.

You can use diferent model, but same size. BUT i think that you need backup your files and created the RAID again, isn't possible add the disk to the RAID 0.

Thanks Saint19,
I ordered two of the HE103UJ today and, if you are correct on compatibility, will add them to my RAID0 next week.

Any time, that's what we're here for.
