Can I do RAID 0 with these 2 hard drives?

[Maybe I know maybe not]

1. 500GB WD Caviar green 7200RPM 16mb cache2. 1.5TB WD Caviar black 7200RPM 64mb cacheCan I do RAID 0 with these HDD's even though they aren't same @ mb cache?

I'm not a pro here, but in my opinion, no, they generally have to be a matched pair.

Yes, but the total capacity of your RAID is only twice as your smallest drive. The 1.5T drive will only be practically 500G

Yes. You most certainly can.But here's the deal, 2 things:1.) The max capability of the RAID-0 array will be determined by the HDD with the lowest performance in terms of random access time, read time, write time, and data burst.2.) The largest size of the array will be 2x the size of the smallest HDD. In your case500GB x 2 = 1TBNote, that it's NOT 500GB + 1.5 TB = 2TB.So there will be 1TB of wasted space.***
