Subject: Mixing 512-byte sector, and 4096-byte sector drives
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 16:39:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BA7FFA9.7040303@kieser.ca> (raw)
Hello,
I have a 6-drive RAID6 of WD15EADS (512-byte sector) drives. One of the
drives is failing, and I have been forced to buy a WD15EARS (4096-byte
sector) drive to replace the failing drive, and it has the new "advanced
format" technology.
Do I need to set the "XP" jumper on pins 7-8 to play nicely with the
other 512-byte sector drives in my array, or will mdraid be okay with
the 4096-byte sector drive? Will there be a performance penalty adding
the drive to my array?
Thank you,
-Peter
