Raid/Replacement HDD question!!

[mdrabble]

School now finished - and we are closing at 5pm until the 6th Jan!!

 

Drive failed in one of Hyper-V servers - HP 146GB 15K drive and I only have a spare HP 300GB 10K drive!!

 

I know size of drive will be ok as it will only use 146GB (the rest will be wasted but I can live with that!)

 

Now the question is, can I temporarily replace the faulty drive with a different speed drive?

[Chuckster]

Yes, you can. I believe it will mean that the rest of the RAID will operate at 10K speeds.

Hoping that would be the case....

 

Il temporarily swap it out and then put a proper replacement in when we back in Jan.

should be no issues I've done it myself and correct in that they will just operate at lower speed and use what space is required.
