loss mid-stream. Using the fastest available hard disks in the RAID 0 array maximizes
the cost-performance ratio: slower hard disks may be used, but the RAID 0 array
can only double the rated speed of particular hard disks; since you could achieve
better performance with a single ATA/100 hard disk than with two ATA/33 disks, it
is more effective to install two ATA/100 or ATA/66 high-RPM hard disks. Hard
disks used for a RAID 0 array should always have the same storage capacity because
the RAID 0 configuration automatically defaults to format both disks to use only up
to the maximum write space available on the smaller of two different hard disks
configured in a RAID 0 array.
