Q: 9. Does this device support RAID 1 for two HDs with different capacities? Specifically, will it support a Western Digital 5TB WD50EZRZ and a 6TB WD60PURZ in a 5TB RAID 1 configuration?

A: The enclosure BH #OWTB3DKP2D • MFR #OWCTB3DKP2D can be used with Thunderbolt/USB-4 but will be limited to its Thunderbolt 3 speeds.
