"I do not want to run ANY KIND of raid.
But i want the ability to add or remove disks as i see fit."

I don't know how you can remove disks as you see fit without having them in a RAID.

Oh I see, you don't mind losing the data on the one that dies.

Okay, then get a RAID controller that supports JABOD (Just a Bunch of Disks).
You can have odd sizes, and you don't need drives on the controller for redundancy.
The trouble is, if you lose a drive, there is no neat way to get the data back in place.
