I currently have 3 x WD Sata 200gb (186gb non-marketing, all same model), two of which are totally loaded up with about 3-5gb of space left on each... every time I buy a new HD, I get worried about data loss even more.
I want to move over to a nice raid5 setup, my new mobo has 8 sata ports and 2 on-board raid controllers from different brands... or I could go for a nice 8 port 3ware sata controller card..
My problem is that I have no room to move my current data to, is there a way to construct the array without loosing all my data?
