Hi Beowulfers, I had 1 drive failed in the RAID (WD4000YR) so I sent it for replacement and got back (WD5000YS), so it is of similar series but larger in capacity. Performance metrics of replacement seems to be at least as good as of old one. But I still wonder if RAID would digest it nicely (we use Areca ARC1160) and I don't want to try it hard way (ie use new one as a spare and wait until raid fails and starts rebuilding). Areca controller has Capacity Truncation capability so larger size of a new drive should be (theoretically) ok, but I still wonder what implications I might encounter. May be someone could share ideas or experience?
Thanks in advance!
