Adding Local Spare Drive
A spare drive is a standby drive automatically initiated by controller
firmware to replace a failed drive. A spare drive must have an
equal or larger capacity than the array members. A local spare
should have a capacity equal or larger than the members of the
logical drive it is assigned to. A global spare should have a capacity
equal or larger than all physical drives in a RAID system.
