Default RAID1 on SATA drives

I've never done it, but I have read that it is possible to use
different-sized disks to make an array. The result, however, will be the
same size as if all of the drives were the same as the SMALLEST one.

It might be more satisfactory to spend some more cash on a twin to your new
drive.

Hello all,
I would like to clone a Seagate SATA drive to another drive (It's my boot
drive)
My new drive is a larger seagate SATA drive.
My PC has the abaility to create a RAID drive in the boot options (before
windows is running)


My goal is to create a RAID 1, then remove the original and run the new
drive and the primary drive in the PC.

My question is this.
Can a raid be established on different size drives? My new one is larger
than the first drive.
Thanks in advance.
Squat,
