Re: Adding a 600GB disk to a group with 300GB drives

mixing disk are not recomended, if you mix the disk of 600 recive 2xIO's that diks of 300 in every IO operations.... your performance decrease and the life time of the disk decrease .... but it's works!

Not really! In most cases mixing drives is more efficient than building dedicated disk group.
Read the best practices whitepaper on the HP Enterprise Library http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/erl.aspx?cc=us&lc=en

Current link of the paper: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA2-0914ENW.pdf
