P67A-UD4: can't expand RAID setup

[arama]

yeah i think so too.
cheers for the help

[Per.C6]

I have a question about RAID5-setup. I have three 1TB HDD's and put them in a RAID5 array. Is it possible to add an extra HDD to that array at a later point in time or do I have make a complete new array (thereby having to format all the drives)?

My second question is. I now have a B2 UD4 MOBO, if I exchange my mobo for a B3 mobo, will my RAID array also be lost or wont there be any problems?

I stand ready to be corrected but I think that you would have to remake the array if you wanted to add any extra capacity to the RAID5.

As for the B2 to B3 upgrade it shouldn't make a problem as the controllers will be the same. Just remember to mark the drives/cables so that you know which one goes where.

yeah well those links that were posted seem to suggest that it is possible to add a drive, but it wouldn't let me add a 3rd to 2 in raid. Have a look at them, they might help.
I won't raid till i get the new boards here, which could be a while after I contacted the seller.
I ended up leaving the OS and programs on the raid0 setup, and keeping the data on a 1TB. The setup looks extremely ugly, with hardly any of 2TB used, while all my data is hogging most of the 1TB, but at least it (and I) are safe
