So I'm wondering did anyone do such a thing and are there any caveats. It is just operating on block devices. You can plug in anything from your mp3 player to your google mailbox. For example, AFAIK SCSI devices are under Giant and IDE are not In 6.x and 7.x both are finer-graded. - is there any reason this would make problems? If you have different speeds on the disks in a raid-1 you should mess with the raid software to tell it that one disk is likely to be faster.
