Is that still correct these days? I'm almost sure I saw something in a Netapp Knowledgebase a while back saying that if you replaced the parity disks with larger disks you could add disks up to the size of the parity disks in a raidgroup and not loose space.

Hi Josef,

to you questions:

1) yes it is possible to mix...BUT if you have different sized disks in one raid-group the bigger disk will only serve the space of the smaller onces.
