The approach you describe may work well. I am using a similar approach (different hardware) with no issues for over two years now. Just make sure that your array firmware will allow you to effectively identify and service a drive which has completely failed. Some arrays may lose the LUN entirely and require that it be recreated via a management interface rather than immediately making a new drive available via the original LUN ID.
