yes you can do it every drive is raid compatible.

But for compatibility isues in terms of optimal performance check the data sheat of your raid controler

WD red have great support but and warenty but as long as you don't run server like conditions you are fine.(no vibration damening with many drives)

I have run Thosiba something, and seagate baracuda 24/7 in raid 1 without any problems for 4 years.

Better safe than sorry, reasonably priced Reds are only $10 more than Greens.

Is Seagate's Barracuda for Desktop compatible for RAID 0,1 & 10??

And if not can someone recommend me cheap drives for a RAID setup.

:)

 

Hey LPTechnoAce,
 
Generally, you could use pretty much any drive in a RAID array, there are no limitations. The speed, capacity and features of the RAID will be limited to the slowest and smallest drive in it with the least features. 
It is recommended that you use RAID/NAS class drives for RAID/NAS environments because of their additional features in the firmware and the way they are designed and build. Because of that, RAID/NAS class drives drop out of the arrays much harder and work smoother, cooler, more quiet and with less issues compared to regular ones.
 
As the guys suggested, WD Red is a great and popular drive and should be great for a consumer-level RAID environment as it features NASware 3.0 and other useful additions to the firmware.
 
It is not recommended to use consumer drives (RAID/NAS class or not) in enterprise RAID arrays because of the difference in the environments, workloads and other factors. This voids the warranty most of the times and it is not supported. For that you should use enterprise-level drives.
 
Feel free to ask if you have any questions. :) Happy Holidays!
 
Captain_WD.
