[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 323080, member: 26653"] If your current RAID0 array is software in Windows, using dynanmic disks, then the RAID information is stored on the disks themselves. So swapping the card out would not be a problem. If it's HW, then it'd be a problem. If Disk Manager sees 4 disks, that's the indication that you are in good shape to change out cards. (I won't speak to HW or Linux, as I am quite unfamiliar.) With regard to your second question - yes, it is possible. But the space available is (n-1)*size of smallest drive. For example, if you used a 320 + 4*500, the RAID array would be of size 4*320, and you'd have some unallocated space. [/QUOTE]
