Then when the data is copied over, when you insert the two new 3TB drives, you can convert the volume to RAID 1+0, with redundancy. Not too complicated. Please correct 23TB typo for clarification. No, not too complicate, but just want to be absolutely sure with mission critical data.]]> Converting Volumes mtennes https://forums.softraid.com/converting-volumes/convert-raid-1-to-raid01-4-drives/#post-1751 https://forums.softraid.com/converting-volumes/convert-raid-1-to-raid01-4-drives/#post-1750 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 01:30:21 +0000 Converting Volumes SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/converting-volumes/convert-raid-1-to-raid01-4-drives/#post-1750 https://forums.softraid.com/converting-volumes/convert-raid-1-to-raid01-4-drives/#post-1749 Sun, 04 Dec 2016 19:17:26 +0000 Only a RAID 0 volume can be converted to RAID 1+0. So yes, you need to back up, then create a new volume. Alternatively you could split both mirrors, create a stripe volume, copy the data onto it, then convert the stripe to RAID 1+0. So, do I create a stripe volume with drives of equal size (2 2TB or 2 3TB) or do I create a stripe volume with a 2TB and a 3TB (if that's possible)?]]> Converting Volumes mtennes https://forums.softraid.com/converting-volumes/convert-raid-1-to-raid01-4-drives/#post-1749
