[cisco-voip] UCS C210 Replace 146 GB Disk in RAID5 with 300 GB Disk

[Ryan Huff]

Reto,

Seek/rpm speeds and media type (flash, sata ... etc) are usually what matter the most for RAID disks. If your only difference is total storage capacity, the bigger disk will usually work just fine, your just gonna waste the additional 154GB of space (because the RAID will only provision 146GB of that 300GB disk).

Just remember on a RAID 5, don’t pull/lose more that 1 disk at a time .... painful lesson long ago I share over beer every now and then.

Hallo

We have a UCS C210 Server with 10x146 GB Disks. One of the Disks failed and I got a 300 GB replacement Disk from Cisco.

Is that a problem if I replace the defect 146 Disk in the RAID 5 with a 300 GB Disk?

Thanks for help
Regards Reto
