I thought they had to match. But if not, I am certain it will take the slower speed for everything
Ronald Wulff Jr 412.288.3601 [email protected] Reed Smith LLP 20 Stanwix St Suite 1200 Pittsburgh, PA 15222 From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 10:46 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: HDD spindle speed RAID Does matching HDD spindle speed matter when you are RAID-ing arrays? Can you have RAID 1 with a 10,000rpm drive and a 7200RPM one? The controller just adjusts when it's waiting to know both drives are ready for more data, right? Somehow I seem to think they need to match - is it only specific conditions? Hardware raid vs software perhaps? Only stuff other than RAID 0 or 1? Or was the crack I smoked still having an effect?
