As you don't have data on the drives, I guess the only issue
I can see is wasting your own time.  I can't imagine you
could do irreversible damage to any of these parts (unless
someone else here sees something that I/we cannot).

I suppose it is a good idea to try to get this right from
the beginning.  Once you have data on the drives, rebuilding
a RAID becomes a pain...you'll need to copy the data over to
an empty drive and wipe everything on the RAID.

Good luck!
