Quick question for the computer aficionados. I want to run two hard drives in a RAID 1 configuration. One drive is 500 GB's while the other is 640 GB's. I have heard that this is possible if you format the larger drive to be the same size as the smaller drive and leave the extra space on the larger hard drive as unallocated. Let me know if anyone has done this and if anyone has had any known problems. Thanks fellas. :cheers: |

Yes, it'll simply be as big as the smallest drive in the array. |

I will throw this in there just in case......RAID is not backup....RAID is not backup......RAID is not backup. ;D Saves you from certain types of hardware failures is all. :cheers: |
