Highly recommend Samsung Spinpoints, in fact I had another one delivered on Monday, and I'm thinking abuot getting another to run in a RAID config on the PC I've just built.

How particular do you have to be about matching the drive makes/types? For instance, I have a 250Gb Baracuda and a 500Gb Baracuda (currently used in an external case for backup). If I got another 500Gb Spinpoint, could I RAID it with the 500Gb Baracuda successfully?
