[SOLVED] How do I set up a RAID 1 array?

[guymarshall]

I go into the control panel and try to make a new storage pool to make a RAID 1 with a 1tb and 2tb hdd, but it only lists one of the hdds, so I cannot use two to make a storage pool.

^^^^^ That image shows you what I see when I try to add two drives to a storage pool and only my 2tb hdd shows up.

IIRC to make that type or RAID array both drives need to be identical.
Are you worried about data integrity for back-ups?
There might be easier or better solutions depending on what you are trying to preserve.

You can RAID drives of any size, the final RAID will be as big as the smallest drive though. I like to run RAID 1 to improve read speeds, and for data redundancy.
