Curious, like typical raid configurations will the array's capacity be limited to a multiple of the smallest capacity drive?
Meaning if you have 5 2 gb drives you get 10 gb (forgetting parity etc...) but if you have 4 2 gb drives and 1 1 gb drive get only 5 gb losing the other 4.
The Drobo has a way to use max capacity of all drives so in 2nd scenario you have 9 gb?
Got a link?
