Is matching model/manuf. when making a raid 0 array? I have an Hitachi SATA 80GB HDD, but I can't find a matching (exact model) drive. Would any drive do (knowing I need to match the size), or should I try to stick at lest with the same brand?

Thanks.
 
IIRC your limiting factor will be the "lesser performer" of the two. I believe you want as close to the same as possible (rotational speed, interface, cache, platter density) but its not required unless you have some strange raid controller.

Go for it, it should work out fine.
