[Gllug] [OT] RAID controllers and hard disk speeds

[Rev Simon Rumble]

It's not optimal.  The faster drives will be slowed down to the speed
of the slowest.  In other words, the fast drives will be waiting
around for the slower ones.  You will get no speed increase from the
faster drive.

There are many people who say that you should stick with identical
drives.
