RE: Load Source

This should work. I have seen and built plenty of systems with similar
configurations (e.g. 2x35, 2x70).

You will need to have all four disks in the ASP before attempting to
start mirrored protection, though.

I'm not mirroring 17 to 8, rather I have two 8's and two 17's but it
still
will not allow me to mirror them, unless all four are the exact same
drives
in the asp.

I want to mirror the 17 to the 17 and the 8 to the 8.

I have a drive that is completely empty right now that I would love to

different sized drives and still be able to mirror them.  That doesn't

make sense to me at all.

Well it should make sense. A mirrored drive is an exact copy. How are
you
going to mirror 17GB onto 8GB? I suppose it might be technically
possible to
mirror 17GB and 8GB by limiting the bigger drive to only 8GB of data but
I
can see major issues with attempting to support that.

Sounds to me like save/restore (i.e., unload/reload) is your safest
option.
