Anyone here have experience with RAID

Yes, but the max that would be used on each is that of the smallest...

Yes, there would be redundancy with RAID 1... the two drives would be Mirrored.

I was talking about RAID 5, wouldn't it be possible to initially set up the array as RAID 5 without my third disk, and the downside would be no redundancy. Then i can copy my data over and add the third disk
