My 3U server is two thirds populated with 4TB drives. My supplier can't get any more 4TB drives do I've ended up buying three 6TB drives instead.
He tells me that when mixing drives of different capacities, the the first 2TB of the first two new drives is lost to 'the system' so instead of getting 18TBs of available space, I'm only gong to get 14TBs.
Is this correct and can somebody explain why?
Many thanks
