Appendix C: RAID and Software Installation
4.The ACU allows you to use drives of different sizes in a RAID . However, during a build operation, only the smaller drive can be selected as the source or first drive.
5.When migrating from single volume to RAID 0, migrating from a larger drive to a smaller drive is allowed. However, the destination drive must be at least half the capacity of the source drive.
6.Adaptec does not recommend that you migrate or build an array on Windows dynamic disks (volumes), as it will result in data loss.
Warning: Do not interrupt the creation of a RAID 0 using the Migrate option. If you do, you will not be able to restart, or to recover the data that was on the source drive.
