Add physical drives to the current array as desired. Try to use drives of the same
capacity in a specific array. If you use drives with different capacities in an array, all the
drives in the array are treated as if they have the capacity of the smallest drive in the
array.
The number of physical drives in a specific array determines the RAID levels that can be
implemented with the array.
RAID 0 requires one to eight physical drives per array.
RAID 1 requires exactly two physical drives per array.
RAID 3 requires three to eight physical drives per array.
RAID 5 requires three to eight physical drives per array.
