So you are using RAID for mirroring (I think that's RAID 1) ?

Chances are you need on the 'same size' or bigger. I say 'same size'
because once when formatting a replacement drive for one of our RAID 5
arrays even though the replacement drive listed the same specs, it came
up about 1800 bytes short (out of something like 150G)... I was
displeased.....
