    Understanding Drive Segments A drive segment is a disk drive or portion of a disk drive that is used to create an array. A disk drive can include both RAID segments (segments that are part of an array) and available segments. Each segment can be part of only one logical device at a time. If a disk

However, capacity is only 50 percent of independent disk drives. If the RAID 1 array is built from different- sized disk drives, the free space,

In RAID 5 arrays, parity data (represented by Ps in the next figure) is striped evenly across the disk drives with the stored data. Drive segment
