As the title says i have 2x 30Gb OCZ Core v2's in raid 0 right now and i was thinking about adding a 3rd drive.. but since the OCZ vertex 30Gb can be bought from Overclockers for about the same price as i can get a core v2 from elsewhere i was wondering if it really matered? would the raid 0 of these 3 drives still work?
2x OCZ Core v2 & 1x OCZ Vertex in raid0?

RAID0 with the Vertex as the third drive would still work, but you'd either see similar performance levels to three OCZ Core V2s RAID0 or you'd get a slight performance increase compared to three OCZ Core V2s RAID0.
With those SSDs though, have you got a dedicated RAID card with cache? If not, you'd get better performance probably by adding a controller card such as the PERC 5/i (I suggest it because it's cheap from the bay) and using its cache. Although the main reason for adding a third drive in RAID0 is for added space rather than performance, is that the case?
If you need the space, get the Vertex, it's a better drive and will almost certainly work with the other two. Although if someone knows different then please prove me wrong.
