Hi All,
I'm looking to build a RAID 5, but am also looking to expand in the future (when budget allows). I currently have 4 1.5 tb discs, but instead of going with a 4 bay, I'm looking at the SANS DIGITAL TR8M 8 bay for future expansion. My question is if I build a RAID 5 using my 4 1.5 drives, would it be possible to add discs to the RAID 5 at a later date? (adding a new 1.5 drive every month or so, or even adding an additional 4 drives at once)
Thanks!
