I have a raid 5 setup running on a server. I am aware that if you have a raid setup of say 3x500gb drives and a drive fails you need a 500gb or greater replacement.
I have 1 250gb drive and two 500gb drives in the array. The drive utilization is limited by the smallest drive so they will all use 250gb. If i want to replace a 500gb drive would I need a 500gb drive or would I need a 250gb drive as this is the most that has been utilized.?
