2. Always use disk drives of the same capacity to create a RAID array.

The excessive capacity of a larger disk drive cannot be utilized because

data mirrors are equally distributed across corresponding members of

2.3 Create JBOD for Integrated Capacity

Step 1. JBOD stands for “Just a Bunch of Drives.” JBOD provides neither

performance gains nor data redundancy. To create a JBOD array, use
