RAID5 with drives of different cache sizes?

[mrsaxman99]

I have two Seagate 7200.12 drives (16MB cache), and one Seagate 7200.11 (32MB cache). All are 500GB. Would it be alright to combine the three in a RAID5 array? Would performance or reliability suffer at all?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Yes you can use them... and yes it would suffer but not noticeably
