[QUOTE="jb2uk, post: 95813, member: 18654"] Hi I'm in the middle of building a nas server out of an old P3 733 machine, its runnign Freenas which is working fine with an old 80gb ide i had kicking about, my plan is to move the two 300gb sata drives from my htpc into the server and put a smaller drive into the htpc (for the os and tv recordings (i don't want to come home and find nothing has recorded cuz the networks gone down etc)) my question is when i move the 300gb drives to the server and plug them into my raid card if in the future i buy 2 more disks will i have to reformat the previous disks to be able to add the new ones to the array? this could cause a problem as i won' have anywhere to put all my files while the disks format thanks in advance Elliot Roebuck [/QUOTE]
