| Need help with RAID 5 I'm looking to upgrade my RAID 1 array to a RAID 5. I went to Newegg today to try to find the same drive as the rest of the array only to find that WD has discontinued it. The drive is a WD3200KS. It has been replaced with the WD3200AAKS. What are the differences between the two drives and would this affect my future RAID 5?

| It should not affect performance or any details of the RAID 5. I have 1 PATA 7200.7, 3 SATA 7200.7 and 4 7200.8 SATA (Seagate's) all in a single RAID 5 and as far as I can tell they are all working happily

| It should not make any difference. They are both the same size. The only difference would be if one is faster than the other you would not be able to take advantage of that. That is true on any raid. |
