You can use any brand of hard disk to replace a failed hard disk, as long as it has the same capacity or greater. For example, if replacing a 120 GB hard drive, you could use either a 120 GB or 250 GB hard drive.

Caution: Do not replace a failed RAID hard disk with a smaller capacity hard disk. Using a ! smaller capacity hard disk will reduce the RAID’s total capacity, resulting in data loss when

the RAID is reconfigured for its smallest drive.
