what happens with left over space in raid 0?

i have a 200 GB hard drive and a 600 GB hard drive, i think different manufacturers. if i were to set up a raid 0, i know i would have total of 400GB. thats the 200 GB drive plus another 200 GB from the 600 GB drive..but what happens to the other 400 GB left in the the 600 GB drive?

nothing that i know of. youd be better off just using the one 600 hd though! i dont know why you would want to link in raid 0 anyway.

the 400GB are lost, so it's useless to setup a RAID 0 with two so different sized drives.instead using RAID 0 you can setup the 2 drives as JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) what is similar to RAID 0 but with the difference that the full capacity of each disk is used. most RAID controllers support JBOD.
