Does it matter to mix and match hitachi 7K3000 and the toshiba 3tb drives in the same array?

If I use a Supermicro Motherboard in the box, will that still allow me to access the 66tv volume from my OS and format it as NTFS as normal? Or will it require using a linux filesystem? Also, I am looking at using Hitachi 7K3000 drives because they are cheaper, is there any reason that I should...

Thanks very much for your help tschopp So if I understand correctly: 1. Supermicro 24 bay chassis, 846BE16-R1K28B, shows as $1310.95 from atacom.com 2. CSE-PTJBOD-CB2 $40 and CBL-0351L $48 at atacom.com 3. CBL-0166L $51 at atacom.com 4. Areca ARC-1882X $790 at newegg.com (5.) 24 3TB drives...

Thanks 1010 very helpful advice, will that be more redundant than using the OWC drives? It would clearly be faster.. JJ: The idea is that we put our tv show video content on the "online" expensive video server for a few months to finish the project, then we move it all over to a cheap...
