Hello! I have RAID 1 and I have two Maxtor 160 GB hard drives set up in this mode. I have bought new one Maxtor 160 GB hard drive, because on of hard drives which are set up in RAID 1 started with failure. But, RAID won’t accept my new hard drive because it says that it is 3 MB smaller. What to do?

Hello! Well, I suggest you to make image from old hard drive to this new one and configure the third working hard drive to be smaller for 3 MB and configure RAID 1 mode again. I assume that Maxtor changed something in hard drives production, so, new one is smaller for 3 MB. Hope this helps you!
