Are you combining a SSD with a regular old HDD? That's what it sounds
like. Is there going to be any real performance benefit here? If you
have one 7200 rpm and one 10000rpm, AFAIK you'll be limited to the
7200 speed. You can only go as fast as your slowest man. Is that not
true with SSD? Can you in fact combine them with regular drives
without sacrificing performance?
