Re: MSA Drive Configuration Question
You can even use this as a feature to enhance the size of a disk array. Rip out one disk and replace it with a larger one. Wait for the rebuild to finish before you swap the next disk. After the last disk has been replaced you see that now you have won additional free space in the disk array.

Re: MSA Drive Configuration Question
With my current array of 36 GB drives, what would happen if I added an 72 GB drive and expanded the array onto that drive? Would it utilize the 72 GB or would it only use 36 GB?
Thanks.

Re: MSA Drive Configuration Question
the total usable capacity of a disk array depends on the smallest physical disk drive. If you use a single 72 GByte disk drive together with 36 GByte disk drives, then only 36 GBytes of the 72 Gbyte disk drive are used.
Yes, you will 'waste' space, but it works.
