Not a problem. If the drives have different performance, some files may have different performance, but that's actually nothing new because the outside of a disk platter is faster than the inner tracks. So whether you have one disk, two matched disks, or two mismatched disks you'll always have different areas with different performance. -- Ray Morris support@bettercgi.com Strongbox - The next generation in site security: http://www.bettercgi.com/strongbox/ Throttlebox - Intelligent Bandwidth Control http://www.bettercgi.com/throttlebox/ Strongbox / Throttlebox affiliate program: http://www.bettercgi.com/affiliates/user/register.php On Sat, 21 May 2011 15:38:23 -0700 "Lee Gold" <leegold@operamail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I have a 100GB IDE HD that will fill up soon.
