Usually, yes. Though it really depends on your RAID controller, most modern controllers will allow mixed drives. However, the array will be limitted by the slowest drive.

As long as their the same RPM and cache size you won't have a problem. If their both 320gigs then you will be able to fully partion both drives. If one drive is larger then you'll only be able to partion it to the capacity of your smallest drive and then you can partion the remaining space and use it as storage or what ever.
