Yes, people have - unintentionally :-) - tried it and it does not work.
The situation you will run into is that a repair operation from a larger
to a smaller disk size will get hung at the point when the target is
'full'.

It might be noteworthy to repeat that one of the changes of HP firmware
to disk drives is, to make sure that all xGB drives have the same
sector capacity (which is not ensured if you by different xGB drives in
your disk discount shop).

Goetz.
