Different Drive Models in raid

[Deleted member 69395]

I scanned for some post concerning this question but would it be bad to raid a few 1tb hard drives that are not the same model? They are all WD brand drives just different models. I would like them in a raid 5 so performance isn't an issue.

Again, I apologize if this has been asked before.

I've done it and it works.

I used a WD5000ABYS and a WD2500JS. Admittedly the performance sucked (Hit 3MB at one point in HDTune.) but I was simply doing it to do it. My SSD is my OS drive so RAID is not necessary for me.
