RE: [OT] Upgrading a raid drive

["Dave McLaughlin" <dave_mclaughlin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

I installed the two 500GB drives today and configured them as a second raid
array.

Used Acronis from a Flash Drive and did a disk clone of the old raid array!

Removed the old drives and rebooted the PC with the new drives. Worked
perfectly and now have enough space to last for the next little while!!

Cheers
Dave...

You *should* be ok then. Maybe worth a quick test to see if Acronis sees
the
drive first though?
