I know this response is very late but is this the info?

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.

exactly and probably make my troubling upgrade that much easier

OK, let me boot the server back up and grab that info in Screens.

Wade88 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.

very clean very nice!!!

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.

quick question....can I migrate from raid 1 to raid 5 with a 1680?
