To answer your question directly. NO - that's not a problem. In fact,
the drives don't even *have* to be the same size. In fact, the drives
could even be SCSI and IDE mixed together in the same RAID device.
As long as Linux can access the SCSI or IDE drive outside of RAID, then
you can use it within RAID, as a rule of thumb.
