If I setup 2 1Tb WD Caviar blacks in RAID 0, but one is 3g/s and the other is 6g/s will the faster one just run at 3g/s also? I'm going to buy a different motherboard that supports 6g/s so ignore the one in my sig. Thanks
 
I am running two WD Caviar Blacks in RAID0. One is Sata2 and the other is Sata3. I didn't want to take the risk of any problems so I just used the jumper on the Sata3 drive to force it to run at Sata2 speeds. My mobo also doesn't supported Sata3 so that is the main reason why I put the jumper in to force Sata2 speeds. Sorry I couldn't be of more help but hopefully my post was some what helpful.

The way I think about it is... You generally want the two drives to work in sync. Even if one would work at Sata3 speeds and the other at Sata2 speeds that would probably cause problems because they wouldn't be in sync.
