Ooops- didn't see the RAID.


You can add another drive, but whether or not that can be separate from
the existing RAID depends on your controller- most CAN handle multiple
arrays, but you need to see if yours does.  If it does not, yes, you'll
have to "reinstall", but that's painless with one of the Supertars -

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
