Vantec NexStar HX4 Quad 3.5 Inch HDD Enclosure ?????

As i have finally completed my system build i thought it was time to move on to my storage solution. ATM my system only has a 120gb ssd and 3 external HDD's (adding upto 3.5tb). I was looking into getting the "Vantec NexStar HX4 Quad 3.5 Inch HDD Enclosure" but there was one thing i was unsure about. Can i use various HDD's with this enclosure or will they all have to be the same? I currently have a 2tb seagate usb 3 external HDD which i would like to take out and put into this enclousre and was also going to buy a 2 tb Western digital and put it in as well as another 1tb hdd that i have lying around. Can i configure it this way or will i have to get all idential drives?
Thanks !

You should be fine to put in the drives that you have. I believe Linus used to have a random selection of drives in his server for a while
