Re: Adding disk drive on enclosure bay
"If i understand you well it will be more easier to add them in the existing default disk group which contain already 12 drives of 146 GB capacity."
This is your ONLY option. You can't do anything else with just 2 disks.
"My available storage will be arround 250 /300 GB right ?"
You will gain the raw space of the 2 new drives. 136*2 = 272 (+ 87 = 359GB (vRAID0)) so yes, between 250 and 300 for vRAID5, less for vRAID1.
If you were to add the 300GB drives... you would recover the current lose of 272GB of protection space, but replace it with 558GB (2*279GB) so it's a wash. Either way, you still end up with the same amount of space (at a higher cost).
The only real upside is... it makes transitioning to all 300GB disks easier in the future.
