Can I raid 0 an older HDD with a newer version?

[The9KGamer]

I currently have a 1TB http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148697 and have ran out of space and am looking to buy a new 1TB HDD http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840 which is same brand and size just a newer version.

Can I throw these two into raid 0 with eachother? Also if I were to get a 2TB version instead would it still work? (If it does at all)

RAID 0:
The speed of the slowest, and 2x the size of the smallest

A slow drive and a fast drive = a slow RAID
1TB drive + 2TB drive = 2TB RAID 0
1TB drive + 1TB drive = 2TB RAID 0

Additionally, you are introducing much more fail potential.

Just add the new drive as a new drive letter.

Is there a difference in the speed between the two? And also doesn't the speed get bumped up?
Also I'd rather do raid 0 so I don't have to deal with 3 different drives every time I install something and I've never had a drive failure in the past 15 years I've been around computers so I'm fine with that.

Most raid configurations will have you initialize(format) a new raid. So you'd lose everything already installed on the existing disk. Just add the new disk like USAFRet recommended.
