The hard drives in a RAID system should match in size and speed. All drives in any
array should be identical models with the same firmware versions. RAID system can
use any size drive, however the smallest drive will determine the size of the array.
There's no set formula to determine how much cache memory to use, but as a general
rule, a workstation, with mostly very large files, such as for audio or video editing and
playback, graphics or CAD files, can benefit from a large cache. File servers, with
multiple random access of varying file size, generally have little or no performance
improvement with additional cache.
RAID systems do not require the installation of different drivers for use with different
operating systems. RAID system is independent and transparent to the host operating
system.
