with WD you can pay for advanced RMA - they will charge you a $25 fee and then place a hold for the value of the replacement external drive on your card until they receive the bad one back.

i just use tubearchivist in a docker.
unraid also lets you add drives of varying sizes to the array (as long as it's as big, or smaller, than the parity drive(s)). ZFS stuff doesn't really let you do that.
