1.5T, 1.0T and 0.5T in a single RAID-Z is equivalent to three 0.5T
drives in a RAID-Z, which gets you two units worth of capacity and one
unit of parity, summing to 1.0T usable.

The slices used on each of the three disks will be .5TB. Mult

not going to go into that. Suffice to say, RAIDZ (and practically
