M6400 Covet - 2 Different Hard Drive Brands

So I've been trying to troubleshoot my M6400 frequent locking up problem. What ends up happening is my dual external screens just goes blank and I'm forced to a do hard shut down. The initial restart sequence takes about 5 minutes as opposed to 1-2 minutes for a normal restart sequence.

I just noticed that my 2 hard drive RAID0 setup has 2 different hard drive brands. One Seagate and the other Fujitsu. Both have the same specs when I open up the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, but I'm just curious if there's more to it that is not reported.

I'm also running Diskeeper 2009. Does anyone with a 2 hard drive setup M6400 Covet have 2 different hard drive brands or did Dell just mess up my order? Thanks in advance.

 

I have 2 250Gig Drives as well. One was a Segate and one was a Fujitsu. I am not running in RAID and I replaced the Fujitsu with a 128GB Samsung SSD when I frist got the machine,

 

I have also ordered a covet with two 320 GB Harddrives
Shipped was like yours with two differend brands with the same specs
When i am at home i will take a closer look to them and edit in here which brands they are, but this should not be a problem for RAID 0 RAID 1 or none RAID configurations
Edit:
Its a Western Digital and a Fujitsu

Christopher

 

I had 2 different brands as well with my standard M6400. Though I also replaced one drive with a 500GB 5400RPM.
