SATA RAID5 Spare/replacement disk same type and size?
Hello all,
We have a PowerEdge 1800 server with a SATA RAID5 disk setup on CERC5.1 controller.
We are looking for a spare / replacement disk in case one of the disks fails.
Do we need the exact same drive? Or a drive with the same capacity?
Disks in the RAID5 are 3 x Maxtor 6Y160M0
These disks are available through Dell.
Locally available are 6L160M0 Maxtor disks. Can we use these as spare/replacements disks?
The 6Y disks are SATA DiamondMaxPlus 9
The 6L disks are SATA DiamondMax 10
Both are SATA 1, 160 GB.
Thanks in advance,
Richard.
