ABSTRACT:
A method and system for autoconfiguring redundant arrays of memory storage devices contained within receptacles having one or more slots containing hardware sufficient to accept and electrically communicate with such memory storage devices. The capacities of the memory storage device receptacles for accepting memory storage devices are determined, and used to define an initial positioning of devices in at least one memory storage device receptacle. One or more asymmetrical groupings of memory storage devices is defined to permit an equation of electrically detected relative positions of the memory storage devices with actual physical positions within the receptacle. Thereafter, additional devices are added into the receptacles such that the ability to equate electrically detected relative positions of the devices with physical positions is preserved.
