    Won't put my life on it but yes. However, your array will be limited to 150 GB IIRC.

    As ethernet says, yes you can but will be limited to the size of the smallest drive, and at the speed of the slowest drive.

    As pointed out above you should be able to setup a 150GB RAID0/RAID1 on them but it's performance will be constrained by the slower of the two drives (at any point in time). Ideally you'd want two identical raptors with the same firmware but in this case you'll have different models, different platter densities, different SATA speeds, etc.

    I had two that where exactly the same but after putting it in the computer for the first time it died. So after waiting 2months on a replacement they send the wrong one :mad:
