Title: Raid Conversions
Post by: Smyle1 on June 27, 2010, 04:47:49 AM

Hello,

I am looking to upgrade my existing RAID 1 to a Raid 5 without moving data. Is this possible?

Kind Regards.

From what I've read on these forums, you must reformat the HDDs to migrate from RAID 1 to RAID 5.  There isn't a way to migrate directly between array types.
