  • Empty space Raid1 configuration

    Posted by Toon Bekkers on April 27, 2013 at 10:08 am

    I have a Raid1 with 2 HDisk. One is 1TB en the other 2TB.
    Now I have replaced the 1TB and set in a 2TB Harddisk.
    After this I still have 1TB space. What can I do to get the Free diskspace availeble.
    Regards,
    Toon

    If I understand correctly, you have a 2 drive external? RAID product with RAID 1, but with 1 X 1TB & 1 X 2TB disk, is that correct?

    You should have 2 matched drives, either 2 X 1TB or 2 X 2TB drives in a RAID 1.

    With a mixed set of drives in RAID 1, you’re going to lose capacity.
