I currently have a WD6400AAKS as my system/game drive and I have a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS that I use for a lot of other stuff, recently I've filled up the Seagate and want to pick up a raid 5 array. Now that the 6401AALS is 50$ I was thinking of picking up 2 and putting them in a raid 5 with the 6400 for all my videos and stuff. While grabbing one of the 500GB 1 platter Seagates(Actually not sure if this is one platter, Don't think it'll matter since the other drive would be a handicap?) and mirroring that with mine for my new system/game drive.
I'd be using the Intel ICH9R controller on my mobo as the controller, I'm just wondering if the different series of drives would cause problems and if you guys have different suggestions on how I'm configuring this.
