I just came across an installation screen that looked like this:

---

It would be nice to have the drive size displayed alongside the model number in order to know which drives you want to install the OS on. 

In this case, two of them are 240GB and two are 7.6TB in size and one might not want to add them to the same pool. 

Maybe it's a simple thing to show the size in brackets behind the model number.
