<h1>Example: Total disk capacity</h1>
<p>Physical drives in an pool can be of different capacities (1 GB, or 2 GB,
  for example). The sum of the physical drives' capacity grouped in an pool is
  the <b>total disk capacity</b>.</p>
<p>For example, if you group two 2 GB drives and one 3 GB drive into an pool,
  the total disk capacity is the 7 GB physically available. </p>
<table width="38%" border="0" align="center">
  <tr>
    <td colspan="3"><img src="images/d3neba00.gif" width="200" height="142"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td >
      <table width="100%" border="0" align="center">
        <tr>
          <td width="28%"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;2 GB</b></td>
          <td align="center" width="22%"><b>2 GB</b></td>
          <td align="right" width="50%"><b>3 GB</b></td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
<p>Similarly, if you group three 2 GB drives and 1 GB drive into an pool, the
  total disk capacity is the 7 GB physically available. </p>
