Considering buying Ultra 4
Hi, I have unused 1TB plus 2x1.5TB disks at home I'd like to make use of for storage, backup and streaming. A four disk NAS feels like the best way and I am considering a good deal on Ultra 4 + 1x2...
Looks more carefully at that step. A 500 GB drive is replaced with a 1.5 TB drive, but the available space only goes up 500 GB. The remaining 500 GB on the drive is wasted until a second 1.5 TB drive is added. So yes, you can put in three sizes, however there is always wasted space when you do.

There are two other limitations not described in that particular thread. The first is that you can't add a smaller drive: (viewtopic.php?f=66&t=32864)
That second is that the volume size cannot be expanded more than 8 TB beyond its initial size: (viewtopic.php?f=66&t=62917&p=352749&hilit=8+TB#p352749)
