In my previous upgrades, I normally purchased a new RAID controller along with new drives and simply copied the data from the old setup to the new setup. I am hoping to do an upgrade this time with just new larger drives without acquiring a new RAID controller. I'm also trying to accomplish...
Question: Is it possible to upgrade a RAID drive set (currently configured as RAID 6) with larger drives by replacing 1 drive at a time (and rebuilding), and eventually end up with a RAID array of increased size WITHOUT data loss?
My setup is as follows:
RAID Controller: Areca ARC-1280ML...
Every single one out there, 50 times each!
I honestly didn't know there was a bandwidth cap at the time. I was using DSL right before the Comcast service, and it had no bandwidth cap at all. Of course the DSL service was a lot slower, but I never had to worry about downloading too much...
On my first month of service with Comcast a couple of years ago, I used about 1.5TB (maybe a bit more, can't recall exactly) of bandwidth. They promptly called me after the first month and gave me a warning and said I would be disconnected and banned for a year if my usage went over the 250GB...
