Can you run two hard drives of the same make and size but different spindle speeds in a IDE RAID configuration? I have (2) Western Digital 10.2GB HD's but one is 7200rpm and the other is 5400rpm. Thanks.

Yes...

You will not see any gain of using a 7200rpm disk as the array will adjust itself from the slower HD.

But, don't worry, it will work just fine and will be faster than a single disk !!!

Enjoy !!

Cool, thanks. I think I'll give it a try.
