The above is the error I receive when attempting to install Centos 7.7.1908 from a USB drive (BIOS boot) onto two 400GB SAS SSDs and configure the boot, root, and swap directories as RAID1. The target device is a Dell PowerEdge 720 at my physical location.
I however do not see this problem when attempting to install on 1.92TB SSDs laying around, though I only have a few of those and more of the 400GB SSDs. At first I thought this was a problem with my disk capacity, but here is one YouTube video where the uploader had no issues setting up the OS in a RAID 1 setup with 20GB drives:

Here's my screen:
