                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I am currently running two thunderbolt 3tb drives with SoftRAID Lite in RAID 1.

 I would like to add two more of the same kind of drives and upgrade to RAID 5 with the full version of SoftRAID. Is this hard to do? I have almost 3tb on my existing setup and don't have any place to put this data while setting up the new RAID 5.

Thanks for any advice.
