When RAID-0 is configured, the total hard disk capacity will
appear to the operating system as twice that of the smaller of
the two hard drives in the RAID configuration. For example,
when a RAID-0 array is configured with one 40GB hard disk
and one 60GB hard disk, the computer’s total hard disk will
appear to the operating system as 80GB - 40GB + 40GB (NOT
40GB + 60GB). You cannot use the remaining 20GB on the
larger hard disk drive.
When RAID-1 is configured, the computer’s total hard disk
capacity will appear to the operating system as the smaller of
the two hard disk drives used. For example, when RAID-1 is
configured with one 40GB hard disk drive and one 80GB hard
disk drive, the computer’s total hard disk capacity will appear
as only 40GB to the operating system.
