Have you seen failures caused by this? Can you provide more details about the circumstances?
WD's first generation Green disks are notorious for popping out of RAID sets due to timeout issues. It is such a problem that Western Digital published a firmware hack that changes the various timeout settings on these disks.
Mixing disks may work just fine. Mixing disks may crap out. It depends on the disks, what firmware hacks have been loaded, the RAID system, the chassis power and other factors that I haven't considered.
