Spare disk

A spare disk is a single disk that can be used to automatically rebuild a redundant

array in case of drive failure. Spare disks may also be members of a RAID array. Any

available space on these disks may be used to rebuild other broken arrays.

Legacy disk

Disks attached to the RocketRAID 2240 that contain valid partition tables will be

identified as legacy disks. A legacy disk attached to the RocketRAID 2240 can be

accessed by the operating system, but cannot be used to create RAID arrays. A

legacy disk must be initialized before assigning it to an array.
