Answer 1

You need at least 2 cages before anything will work. 5 is recommended if you want to do RAID 5. If you have your availability set to "cage" and not "magazine" it will bomb out because there aren't enough cages.

Also, Mismatching Spindle speeds is ok, but it will separate the two speeds into separate pools.
