Drive sizes differences

SuperMicro server, Adaptec 2000S RAID controller

One array on the controller was 3 x Quantum / Maxtor Atlas 10k III 73GB U320 drives.  One of these has failed and given the original drives date from 2003, we've purchased a Cheetah 73GB U320 (ST373455LC) to replace it.


Problem is the Quantum drives are reported as 70148MB but the new Cheetah as 70007MB - thus the array won't rebuild.

 

Any suggestions to get it sorted with the existing drives?

 

Or, is it a case of having to replace all the drives (with matching drives) and re-create the array?

 

Thanks,

Chris.
