Raid0 on WD740's--small hitch

[banditto1969]

I have a WD740GD and wanted to add another to raid0. Small hitch... I bought another WD740GD which is stickered as a 'GD' but running HD Tune it appears to match the results of a WD740ADFD. The burstrate on my original drive is 103mb/sec while the new drive is 110mb/sec.

So my question is even though they are stickered as the same model and internally HD Tune reports them as the same model, am I SOL in thinking a raid0 on these drives would have success. I believe I could get them to work for a bit but longterm-wise it wouldn't be a good idea.

Thanks!

It will be fine don't worry about it.

The GD isn't that much different than the newer ADFD really.
