SATA, SATAII and maybe even PATA133 in a raid?

[bangaho]

I am considering putting a Small raid together, initially with some 250gig maxline III drives, My controller only supports sata 150. but it looks like i may have to use a mixture of drive models:

MaXLine III
250GB
SATA 1.5Gb
7L250S0

MaXLine III
250GB
SATA 3.0Gb
7V250F0

Will there be any problems or performance drop? I am hoping that they are the same drive, just some support a faster speed.

also i have 2 IDE channels going spare, would PATA133 drives be a problem?

MaXLine III
250GB
PATA
7L250R0

Sorry if this has been asked before, i ran a couple of searches on sata + sataii raid but couldnt find the specific answers. Many thanks for any help.

I dont know about the Nvidia controller or any other hardware based solutions but windows disk managment -could- be used (although its pretty slow I think?) to build a volume across multiple disks or extend a simple or dynamic volume onto new disks. It doesn't seem to mind what model or interface the disk has.
