Okay so I need to expand my storage capacity since both my SSD's are used up. I have 11.2 Gigs remaining of my 212 GB SSD (Quantity: 2 Type: 120GB Corsair ForceGT SSD) in RAID 0. My question is, if I want to simply add an SSD and integrate it in my existing RAID 0 with the other 2 ssd's is this possible or do I have to wipe the entire SSD's of data and do a reinstall? Any help is great. Thanks a bunch!

When you change a RAID0 (adding or removing a drive from it) you have to reinitialize the entire RAID, which means you will lose all your data on it as soon as you make a change to it.
