In my HTPC I have:
WD SE16 (WD5000KS) 500gb/16mb SATA (3.0g/s)
this drive is 6 months old and from what I understand a 4 platter HD.

I just purchased:
2x WD SE16 (WD5000AAKS) 500gb/16mb SATA (3.0g/s)
from what I understand that the differnce between the 2 models is these are a 3 platter HD.

Will I have a problem using all three of these in a raid 5 config. 1.5TB?
If so, why?
