RAID question

[Sheff]

Stripped array. 2 x 60G SSD's for OS and most programs that I use. Data is on a NAS.

AMD 890FX MSI MB.

Can I just add an identical drive to this array and have it work so that it sees the increased capacity or do I have to reinstall the OS and programs?

I assume you are talking about windows and motherboard/bios/fakeraid Raid 0.

With this I do not think you will have the ability to expand a raid 0 array. You can however image your windows system to your nas using a bootable iso and recreate the array and put the image back.

The first two are free while a trial is available for the last. In the past a trial was fully functional meaning if you needed to use it for this it would work fine.. Not sure about this version.

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't got that much installed on it yet, so starting over wouldn't be that big a deal.
