Hi Thomas, Yes you can replace it with an unused drive as long as they are compatible : - same technology (FC/SATA) - same size or bigger - same rotation speed (5.4 / 7.2 / 10 / 15k)
Hi all,  Apologies for all the brackets, just trying to explain fully.  We have a cx3-40 here (not in warranty)  and one of the vault drives have failed and is physically removed, thus write cache disabled effecting performance.  Can I replace/swap that failed drive with an unused drive (not part of any RAID group) that is already in the SAN or will it mess things up ?  Thanks in advance,  Thomas.
