[QUOTE="Chilbear, post: 681313, member: 32643"] For a correct RAID the drives should be identical and the same size or the difference will be ignored. Better solution is to add another internal disk and get stuff off the main drive IMO. Another option because you have a Pro is to add two new drives inside and raid them and move stuff off the main drive again. Not sure if you can start off a Raided drive, probably can but why since you have lots of box space. A piece of cheap advice - buy a 1TB external and set up Time Machine and back up your machine regularly. 1TB external = lost downtime due to a bad drive when in a production environment. [/QUOTE]
