I've made sure the 500G drive is the first in the external box. And excluded it in the array.
I've started creating a new array using the following;
/sbin/mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=5
--raid-devices=3 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: layout defaults
to left-symmetric mdadm: layout defaults to left-symmetric
mdadm: chunk size defaults to 512K
mdadm: size set to 976630272K
mdadm: automatically enabling write-intent bitmap on large array
mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata
mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.
and formatted to ext4;
mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0
mke2fs 1.42.10 (18-May-2014)
Creating filesystem with 488315136 4k blocks and 122085376 inodes

Superblock backups stored on blocks:

Allocating group tables: done
Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (32768 blocks): done

I'm hoping to simplify the setup by removing the smaller driver
