Can someone help me? I'm going to be setting up a RAID 0+1 in my system. I've got 4, 40GB drives. But one of them is a 7200 RPM. Will this still operate (be compatible), or do I need all the drives to be the same speed? I'm not worried about performance, I just want the security. Thanks.

I'd strongly suggest you follow the RAID recommendations of identical drives. Since IDE drives don't have spindle sync anyway, I suspect that it will work, but it may REALLY impact performance.
