Guess, I waited too long to address the failed drive and now my other drive is degraded. I recently purchased two 1 t bit WD black drives on Amazon. My question is what's the best way to recover this situation? Is possible to install 1 WD drive and copy/mirror the degraded drive, then install the second drive and raid them together? I realized I should have bought two identical sized drive to make it work easier, but am kinda strapped for cash and wanted to go with a WD as I've heard it's a good quality drive and has very good reviews.
My new drives= Western Digital WD1002FAEX Caviar Black 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Internal Desktop 3.5" Hard Drive
This is my current setup...
