•
For efficient use of storage, use drives that have the same capacity to build a RAID array. If the
drives have different capacities, the lowest capacity is used across all drives in the RAID array.
If one drive is used in several RAID arrays, RAID performance might degrade and maintenance
complexities will increase.
•
If the installed drive contains RAID information, you must clear the information before using the
drive to build a RAID array. For more information, see the storage controller user guide for the
server.
