Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
you know at this point - you might be right on the single drive for the one raid set one server. its a 16TB array and full I do care about the data for sure.
So for the second Primary Server - this process wouldn't work since the usable disk space is 27.2TB and full.
I am looking to get...
Sparking this back up - I been so busy that i really haven't had the time to mess with the 2 servers.
Josborn - thanks for sharing but i do not have the room to build a second array on the Controller or Case.

Yes, this is the best option if available, but like I stated I do not have another high capacity server with the needed space avaiable to do so, hence why I need to upgrade.
thanks for the input. I always feared this method but really don't know of any other way to expand. how would you of done it without having equal amounts of free space available to migrate? I created a hot spare but it didn't rebuilt it just states missing drive. just one array.
Good morning.
I have been running two media servers for many many years. one is running raid 5 and the other running raid 6. both using hardware raid ARECA cards (so old i can't even remember the models) the cards work without issue. one server is using the HP SAS EXP Card.
The time has...
very nice...All my discs are hitachi too for the same reason... now in the process of building a new raid 6 array with 4tb hitachi drives...I just have to start and get another case
very nice I thought about going that route before I killed by array...I got a lot of negative feedback about expanding that way but obviously it is possible cause you did it and I know you know what you are doing.
