You can use unequal size disks. You need at least two of the largest size if you want RAID redundancy with no wasted space. However, you can also creat multiple volumes.

sorry i wasnt clear, i wanted to use readynas os on a existing machine (i currently have linux os without any redundancy)
so basically i should buy 2 4tb hdds to backup my data, then i format the others and just add the backup drives without needing to format them
is it right?
