All raptors 16mb Cache? or older ones 8mb?

Not sure how I could check but I am planning an upgrade and adding another raptor for raid0. Current one is 2 years old.

Cheers for any help

My current is a 8mb cache model, if i get a 16mb cache drive will i be able to RAID 0 them? Or will it screw up?

You can RAID 0 with any two drives, but ideally you want identical ones for optimum performance & storage space.

cheers, aslong as it isnt any less reliable, if you can call raid 0 reliable that is

or rather "aid 0" as there is no redundancy!!!
