The WD Red has "intellipower" meaning it can - supposedly - go from 5400 to 7200, depending on various conditions and who you ask. This means that if i wanted to combine it with the DT01 (traditional 7200), the overall speed of the array would be dictated by the Red, right?
I don't know who keeps perpetuating this myth, but it is just that. "intellipower" is just another name for slow. It just means slow spindle speeds and clever use of caching algorithms to make it feel faster than it really is. It's a marketing name only. They do not, and have never had the ability to change speeds.
