drives for raid, question

[Jim]

I want to buy a second drive to setup a raid 0.My current HD is Seagate ST3320620AS ,the one I,m buying is Seagate ST3320613AS.their the same size,same cache ,end of number is slightly different,one specs as a 7200.11 and the other as a 7200.10 Do you think tere'll be any conflict or will they work find together?
thanks

It will work, however the 7200.10 is considerably slower than the 7200.11 due to the platters being smaller. Personally I think I'd rather not use the drives in RAID0.

They will work fine in RAID together. I used 4 maxtors in raid 0. Performance wise I would save and get a raptor. From personal experience the 4 disk raid was no comparison to the raptors. Even 7 disks(7k) could not beat the two disk raptor raid.

so performance over a single drive little if any better?
