Yes they will be accumelated. But remember, if one drive dies, all your data is lost. (unless you backup the data) Mvh Svein Arild -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: Sorin Srbu [mailto:Sorin.Srbu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sendt: 7. september 2004 12:59 Til: Windows2000 Mailing List Emne: [windows2000] Slightly OT: Software RAID with win2k/xp pro Hi all, I'm fiddling with a raid test over here, with some really ancient hardware. Basics: * 4x harddrives; 428M, 421M, 540M and 540M respectively. * Win2k pro sp4 Question: If I make them all dynamic disks, and build a simple stripe set (non-redundant = RAID 0?), will all the space be accumulated to a single big array (428M + 421M + 540M +540M = 1929M), or will the smallest drive decide the final size (4 x 421=1684M)? Not that the difference is that big (about 300M)... But I was thinking for later, uhhh..., experiments, where way bigger drives will be used. TIA.
