    You can get a cheap one from EBuyer, or your local Maplins Electronics. Neither of them use the Highpoint 370 chip, which is about as much as I know about them.

        Pretty sure you can do this. Though 20 GB is quite a bit of space lost.

          You definitely lose the 20 gig. If the drives are really mismatched on performance or specs you might get slower performance and the occassional glitch.
          How can you possibly take anything seriously?
          Who cares?

            You can do it. You'll probably have to set up the drives yourself so that they have equally sized partitions.
