NAS 440 and Raid Zero; do all drives need to be the same size?

I bought an 8tb NAS440 but I want to swap 2 of the 2 tb drives out for 2 Seagate 1.5 tb drives that have my data on them. Can I do this with the NAS440 in Raid zero?

Hello,

It sounds like you are trying to add 2 Seagate 1.5TB drives that already have data on them. 
The answer would be no.  The BlackArmor NAS will see any newly installed drive as Unknown.  

The drive would have to be claimed and setup which will delete any data already on the drive.
