Bad question. You need to know exactly *WHICH* Barracuda drives you are
talking about, and which people are talking about when they reply to you.
Don't expect 7200.9 Barracudas (SATA 300) to work fine with some broken
SATA 150 chipsets (such as Intel ICH5/ICH5R). They *may* work, or they may
fail to work (but at least if it is a 300/150 issue, it is an
all-or-nothing, so no data loss).
7200.8 have NCQ and non-NCQ versions, so you need to know which you're
dealing with as well.
You did not specify whether I should be looking for a drive with NCQ or
without NCQ. :-)
Anyhow, I am considering combining these:

Do you think that I may run into problems with these?
