    What kind of raid where you aiming for? by ripley8 2011-03-04 15:36:39
If you say two disks add up to 1.5TB of usable storage that would
be like RAID 0 (simply concatenating the drives) or striping which
would yeald a different performance profile.
(But no redundancy to protect against drive failures)


If you want to get a mirror (RAID 1) you will end up with a usable
storage of one drive. If the drives are not the same size you'll
end up with a mirror volume the size of the smaller drive and some
extra space you could use un-mirrored to not let it go to waste.
(May not be the most efficient way and not work for all mirroring
setups, though...)

Anyway, if I order 2 750GB drives and get delivered something
different, I'd return it immediately.
