So far, we've not heard of anybody putting 2.5" drives into a RAID array. However, all we need is a simple test system, an IDE RAID controller and two notebook drives. Let's get started!
We received two 2.5" drives from Fujitsu: the MHN2150AT and its bigger brother, MHN2300AT. The two drives are equals, technically speaking, only differing in capacity (15 vs. 30 GB) and some performance differences.
The drives look pretty much the same, and both will tell you the configuration information. Here, what applies to desktop drives can be applied to notebook models: they can be run either as Master (drive 0) or as Slave (drive 1).
Refer to Fujitsu's Website for more information about these drives:
