NV+ RAID Questions
I have poured over docs and posts but I just want to be double triple sure before embarking so am asking a redundant question I know... apologizies. I have an NV+. 2 drives running in bays 1 and 2...
Here's a different question I guess... what configuration does support unequal size disks, and support storage expansion? I have two 2 TBs and 2 1TBs. Looking to utilize the hardware is all. tx

If your disks are different sizes you will see more disk space on your platform.
xraid1 (which is what your platform uses) doesn't support unequal size disks. If you install 2x1 TB + 2x2 TB, the xraid 1 treats all disks as 1 TB (wasting space).
xraid2 doesn't behave that way, but your platform doesn't use it.
