Alternatively, if you're willing to try some experimental (but reasonably stable) software, btrfs will quite happily RAID over mis-matched devices. According to http://carfax.org.uk/btrfs-usage/index.html, RAID-5 will allow for 3.1TB of data (assuming 1 copy of the data and 1 parity stripe - remember that btrfs can self-heal in that situation) > > -- > <PataTAF> Ah, I found a funny game at work. > <PataTAF> I launch my browser and e-mail client together > <PataTAF> if the MUA opens first, I work > <PataTAF> if it is the browser, I surf the web… > <PataTAF> At work we have Chrome and Outlook, my productivity's bad. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
