If that happens, Drobo only lets you store the combined size of the two smaller drives (less about 5-10%). So if the 1TB drive does fail, the other two disks theoretically store the data until you replace the other disk.
But you're right - keeping the disks similar size is the optimum way to do it.
@crocop4life WOW so i have no idea how the drobo work LOL

What if you have 3 drives, 100gb, 150gb and 1TB, and the 1TB drive fails.
Isn´t it best to have equal sized drives, even though it´s not required?
