Drive Size Order?

I have a NV+v2, with a 500Gb drive in bay 1 and a 2Tb drive in bay 2 (both Seagate), and I am thinking about buying another drive.

Option A would be to buy another 2Tb drive to replace the 500Gb drive in bay 1.

However, if I purchased 3Tb drive (haven't decided between WD Red or Seagate Barracuda), what is the best way of installing it?

That is, I want to end up have the existing 2Tb drive in bay 1 and the 3Tb drive in bay 2.

    Mirrored 2 TB volume with 1 TB of the 3 TB drive unused [I suspect that is what you meant to type].
