Answer

Yes. the mixed capacity disk drive can be added to the DDP(Dynamic Disk Pool)/Volume Groups.
  • The Drives must have the same drive type (HDD or SSD) in DDP/Volume Groups.

  • If the capacity of a drive is smaller than existing drives, it is not eligible to be added.

  • If you must add unassigned drives with a larger capacity, be aware that the usable capacity of the unassigned drives that you add is reduced so that they match the current capacities of the drives in the pool or volume group.
