I`ve got 4 disks in the room:
3 - identical 200g, SATA2 (once detected it syncs to 201.xxx)
1 - different 200g, SATA2 (once detected it syncs to like 199.9
Coz of the irregularities, nothing other than JBOD can be used if I chose to use all four in combination.
Now, if I were to eject the irregular one, what kind of performance change am I going to notice, if any. Obviously I`ll be open to a whole range of Raid capabilites with just the 3.
Likelyhood is it`ll be a dumping ground for a while for probably all of my files, until I setup 2 raids on 2 other pcs. Movements will be over network that will likely max about 20/25 mbs.
However, once all is said and done - and all relevant files are on their pcs, there won`t likely be the need for 800g of storage, 600g would probably be more than enough. So, use it as 800g to mess about, then revert to 600g ? OR just stick it as 800g cos there isn`t much of a speed difference ? (the spare 200g will more than likely go into storage)
