Couldn't sleep so decided to do a bit of experimentation with RAID 0 using a 60gb OCZ Agility 3 and a Corsair Force 3 120gb. Naturally I lost the spare capacity on the Corsair, ended up with 111 gb. Stunned by the scaling, the windows logo doesn't complete its animation, let alone seeing the Welcome screen, lol.

Well that what happens when you pick different sizes and the rest is down to being formatted.

Nice speeds though :).

Aye, thats why I said Naturally, lol. Surprised it worked at all to be honest, being used to HDD's having to be matched (although my Samsung and Seagate play nice together too, exact same size and cache of course)

Really? I suppose so since you're being honest. :D

Being matched is not a requirement. Heck, I could RAID a thumb drive, HD, and SSD together if I was so inclined.
