Question on Raid with 2 different drives

One of my drives died this week in my raid. I had 2 maxtor ATA 133 drives in there with 8 mb cache. I'm thinking about replacing the one that died with a Seagate drive since they comes with a 5 yr warranty. Will I have issues placing a Seagate drive that is only ATA 100 with a Maxtor that is ATA 133? They will be on the same cable.
 
no but it still ide.. so chances are there but very low... the only problem that might come up is that the two brand fights on who's master and who's slave.. other than that, raid doesn't care

Ideally, they should be on separate chains anyway, as IDE can only deal with one device on a chain at a time.
