Yes, it will just be slightly smaller than the current one.
-EMC R515 : updated BIOS,iDRAC,PERC card. Server has 1 RAID1 array and 1 RAID5. In  the RAID5 array  one disk is defective. I replaced it with a similar refurbihed disk I bought online. The array does not rebuild. I notice a difference between the existing disks and the new refurbished one. -The size is different (smaller then the original disk). A restore might not be possible because of this. - The model is , although on the disk itself the model is ST33000650SS printed, different then the other running disks. - The disk is not certified -the vendor is SEAGATE, and not DELL (sector,speed,.. are OK) I tried to clear the disk. And I think of the above, making it a hotspare fails. (Read somewhere this can start the rebuild.) I looks like it is not correctly recognized. [IMAGE]
