Thanks r. &nbsp;I went ahead and setup a RAID1 array and successfully degraded and then added a drive to it. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'd like to have the faster read times and increased storage capability of RAID5 but what I thought would be greater fault tolerance seems to be more problems than it's worth. &nbsp;<br />

KISS right?<br />

Thanks again.
