Don't ever do this.  Jonathan has obviously gotten away with this (so far) but using large drives (e.g. 1TB) in a 15-member RAID-5 set is just asking to lose the array due to a double-disk failure.

I've done several recoveries for our Windows Server Team because they're configured large RAID-5 sets and had double-disk failures.
