    I just got my WD BEVT that I bought off ebay. To my surprise it turned out to be a system pull from a My Passport after I checked the warranty from WDs website.

    In any event, I started to put it into my 6860FX when I realized that the one already inside had WD3200BEVT-22ZCT0 while this new one had WD3200BEVT-11ZCT0.

    Is another way of determining if a WD hard drive is a system pull or not? Is there a difference in the rating of these two drives even though they are both BEVTs? Is it still ok to set up my laptop in a RAID 0?

    Any info is appreciated.

    i looked into a passport they have on sale at bestbuy the other day cause i was going to pair it up with the other one till i read the specs and everything was the same Except 2 megs of cache instead of 8 so i backed off. Now WD does sell some other versions of the 320 passport that are more expensive so my best guess is that some might be the scorpio 8 megs and others are i guess not .

    It will be fine to use those in RAID. You can actually use two completely different name and size drives in RAID if you wanted to. You'd just be limited to the available space on the smallest drive. Since you have (2) 300gb 5400 RPM drives, performance will be just as if you bought 2 perfect twins. In other words, you'll be perfectly fine. Hope that made sense, I just woke up a little while ago.
