My first raid setup, some questions.

[rxteenager]

Hey guys well i got a new system with a p5q pro which has built in raid options. I have read some info regarding configurations and such, but well do the HD's need to be identical? I mean I have a seagate 500gb HD with a 32mb buffer. If for example i bought a WD 500gb gp drive with a 16mb buffer, would i be able to set them up on raid? do the drives need to be identical for raid to work?

However its not really reccomended.

heres some reading for you and you can decide for yourself.
