Two port RAID card Prim & sec choice

[Reeferjon]

Hi.
I have found a nice little two port RAID card (supports 250Gig)....my question is this...
I want to add two identicle 250Gig's in mirror, I also have a spare 160Gig.

What would be the performance effect of having the two 250Gig drives on the same channel (IDE 1) as primary and secondary.
Then using the odd 160Gig on IDE 2.

Thanks.

Thanks guys.
After some checking I ended up binning the RAID card and getting a Adaptec AAR-1420SA SATA-II RAID Controller (4 port) and two 250g SATA II Hitachi drives.

If your new to RAID (like me) make sure that if you get SATA II drives your RAID card supports them.

Once I have the mirror built I will try my PATA drive on channel 3 with a PATA/SATA converter.
