HI Andrew,
Since I am installing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS I have no mdadm to use in the
install process, so I have pulled the leads on the 2 x 2Tb drives will
install Ubuntu using LVM and their default setup for that disk and when
I have a running system I can plug in the two drives and run mdadm to
set up the raid formatting the disks as part of the process? or
formatting before the process?
Maany thanks

Note that if you do this the drive names can still change when you plug
the other two disks back in. That's why you should use UUIDs and not
worry about what names they are assigned.
Once I have a working system, then replug the SATA drives and set up RAID.
If you like.
In the past I used to be able to define a partition table but Ubuntu is
doing my head in. It offered to use my 1Tb drive as a swap partition.
With Ubuntu 18.04 it should default to using a swapfile and no swap
partition. If you're having trouble with the partitioning, the simplest
solution is to tell the installer to use the entire 1TB drive in the
default configuration that it recommends rather than doing it manually.
Hope that helps,
Andrew
