hi,

i have 2 SSD disks (250 GB each) on every ES node (2.2.3) and specify 2 data folders in config and its working fine at the moment.  
Now we want to store more data so i was thinking about adding an additional SSD disk (1.9TB) on every node and specify it as a third data directory.  
Will it cause any issues for Elasticsearch to work with data directories of a different size?  
Will it be able to utilize all 1.9TB ?

thanks,  
Alex
