You can't setup RAID with a 250 GB SSD (example) and a 2 TB HDD. It just can't happen. RAID 0 would be terrible, because those drives have a very different Read/Write speed, so data corruption could happen. The SSD could be done writing the striped file (RAID 0), and the HDD could be not even halfway. It is optimal to install 2 of the EXACT same drive. Same space, same maker, same model.
