Q: 4. Do I need to use identical drives? (Currently using an ailing Drobo with all different drives)

A: The RAID mode used for the QNAP TR-004 4-Bay USB 3.2 Gen 1 RAID Expansion Enclosure BH #QNTR004US will determine the effects using different sized drives. In most cases using different sized drives will result in the capacities being based off the smallest drive in the array.
