[QUOTE="CJCS, post: 681035, member: 42959"] Right now I keep a 320GB drive in Bay 1 of my early '08 Mac Pro, and a 250GB drive in Bay 2. I keep OSX installed on the 320, and the 250 contains a copy of my iTunes library for back-up purposes (I would use Time Machine, but I really don't need to back up anything other than my iTunes, everything else is stored on my .Mac account). Anyway, I'm nearing capacity on the 320GB drive, and was wondering if it would be possible to put the drives into RAID 0, so that they both show up as one complete drive in OSX. I'd then just use an external drive for back-ups, and use my internal drives together for OSX. Is this possible? Or do both drives need to be the same size? Thanks CJCS [/QUOTE]
