I have used Raid 0 for years but never tried Raid 5 with XP. I have two questions.
First, If I use 2 250 drives and 2 200 gig drives I assume Windows will just allow a raid set of 4 200 drives. BUT will Windows allow me to utilize the 100 gig left on the two larger drives?
Also, this will really sound crazy but with the new firewire 800 options and the speed they offer, will Windows allow them to be converted to a dynamic drive and allow them to be in a raid set. Good way to have external drives in a small case.
