Subject: F50F80 SSA 6-pack Drive Size mixtures
Is it permissable to mix SSA hot swap drive sizes (9Gb, 18Gb, 36Gb) within
the same hot-swap SSA six-pack on F50/F80 systems all for use within one
RAID 5 configuration? Also, if so, will you benefit from the different
sizes, or will the system/RAID treat all drives as the least common
denominator, e.g, 9Gb?
Many thanks!
