Adding a HDD to a RAID 5

by total geek . Updated 16 years, 8 months ago

Hi,

Can you add another SCSI HDD to a current RAID 5 that has 3 drives already attached?

I understand that it has to be of the same size and specs but I want to know what repurcussions it would have on the WIndows 2000 Server software.

The reason I am asking is that the C partition is getting full and I am about to upgrade to Windows 2003 Server. It is used primarily as a file server.

I need more room and wanted to know the consequences of adding another hard drive and when is the best time to do it.

Thanks in advance
