Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Like if I have a 10TB and 2TB drive, can I create a 2TB raid1 partition for important data and a 8TB partition for data that does not need to be backed up (Such as steam games and other easy to recovery things)

I tried to look it up myself and found things saying drives of different sizes can be raid1 together, and that the raid will be the size of the smallest drive, but I can't figure out if the remaining space can still be used for things
