Hi Guys,
I currently have two 1TB drives being mirrored with Robocopy. While it does the job it's beginning to piss me off..
I was thinking of buying this card

I have a spare (brand new) external Iomega Prestige 2TB drive here. I was thinking of taking that out and buying another 2TB to mirror it with.
I have seen some 5900 drives that are good value. Could I use one of these? Can I mix speeds(rpm) in the RAID 1 array?
I'm thinking I won't be sacrificing too much speed due to the lower rpm. This is becuase RAID 1 provides higher read/write performance anyway.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts..
