What happens when replacing a disk with a bigger one, when having RAID

Hello !

This is one of the questions I had in mind.
I asked DLINK and here is their answer:

Q:
"Upon creation of a RAID volume, the remaining space is created as
JBOD, by default. This is the standard behavior of DNS-323, and one of
the reason I bought one. Now if I remove one disk and replace it with
a bigger, will the JBOD extend to the maximum available space due to
the new larger disk ?"

A:
"Oh yes it will... It will take any remaining space and create a separate drive, No mater what larger size you use on eather side of the DNS-323 it will create a JBOD drive with the left over and the RAID remains the same size."

Just in case some might ask the question.

What ahppens if the new disk is smaller by the way ? wink
