Yep this is definitely doable. In fact you could do raid with pretty much
any combination of devices that are r/w.
Check it out http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html. This guide is
old but still relevant. What I would suggest is dropping the raid tools and
going with mdadm instead as that is much easier to manage your array with.
Get back at me if you need more help
