Dell Support send us 900GB instead 600GB SAS and they told us this dont cause any kind of problem. Also for the older PS5000 they send us drives from a different vendor as a replacement.
EQL is "traditional" so the smallest drives specified the usable capacity. This would be different in a Compellent SAN which can give some headache if you have different disk sizes within a tier.
Thank you very much! I was a little skeptical about the validity of mixing different size hard drives in the SANs... Is there a way to validate which hard drives are compatible? Like a list or something that I can look at?

SANHQ may report "mixed" disk size for an member.
