My system has two 1-TB HDD's installed. In the Intel RSTe controller page, the size of each drive appears as 931.5 GB, which is expected. Then if I configure these two HDD's into a RAID1 array, the maximum capacity shows as only 884.9 GB. Is it expected behavior for each drive to lose nearly 50GB of available space when configuring a software RAID1 array?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
