I have a Precision 380 with a RAID configuration w/3x 160gb drives. My paperless environment in the appraisal business will yield approximately 120GB in archived material a year. As such, as this machine was bought out of the Dell Outlet for $700 w/2gb RAM and 3 drives, I wanted to spend the money I saved on swapping out the drives with three 500gb Seagate Barricudas. What would be the best way to approach the swap? I have two licensed programs with 20gb of archived info already built up on the 160gb drives. Do I have to start over with the new drives or can I rebuild one drive at a time? Using Windows XP and IE6 and Trend Micro ’06. Thanks.
