Mixing Disks from Different Manufacturers or with Different Capacities

An array can contain different models of SCSI disks, even disks with different capacities; for example, an array can include a 4-GB disk and a 9-GB disk. If you mix disks with different capacities, the smallest disk determines the logical capacity of all other disks in the array, regardless of RAID level. For example, if a RAID 0 array contains one 4-GB disk and four 9-GB disks, the capacity of the array is equivalent to about five 4-GB disks. To maximize disk capacity, use disks of similar size.

Mixing Disks on Different RAID Controller Channels

The G5312 and K5312 RAID controllers have two device channels: 1 and 2; the

G7313 and K7313 have three device channels: 0, 1, and 2. An array can consist of disks on different channels of the same RAID controller.
