Those drives should be 100% identical (even the same drive models). Will the command 'atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6' ruin the data on my drives? I ask because I am hoping to avoid the need for another 150 gigs of space just to copy the data off of the drives before creating the array... Anyone? /Eirik
