http://www.dabs.ie/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=5D3G I don't know that much about RAID arrays, but I'm wondering if it's possible to use several hard drives, each of a different capacity and manufacturer, in a RAID device like this?

Normally with RAID you are then limited to the size of the smallest disk in the array, with the extra space on other disks lost.
