https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/smartarray-5300-raid-expansion/m-p/3085102#M9836 We currently have a SmartArray5300 in a Proliant ML530 running NetWare 5.1SP6. One cage has four drives, the other is empty. Of the four drives, three are in a RAID-5 and the other is reserved as a hot spare. If we were to add two more drives, could we extend the array across the two extra drives without having to lose any data?<BR /><BR />Let me know if you need more information.<BR /><BR />Thanks.
