I have a HP DL320 SAN running LefthandOS 9.5, we had a hard drive fail, it is a 146GB HDD SAS 15k. I have ordered some replacements but they have not arrived yet. I have some 600GB HDD for the same model SAN. Can I use a 600GB HDD SAS 15k as a temporary replacement until the 146GB HDDs arrive> The SAN with the failed HDD is in RAID6.
 
Solution
Yes you can, when you put it in and rebuild the array it will only use 146GB of the drive, the rest of it will just be left blank.
