X-RAID upgrading from 2 drives to 4
If I had an NV+ with two drives (400GB each) in X-RAID configuration and I wanted to replace them with say, 4x1TB units, are my calculations below correct for each step in the process?: At start, 2...

Really?! I'm looking at the HCL right now and it says the 2TB F4 HD204UI is on it - am I looking at the wrong list?

btw 4x 2tb drives gives 5555gb, see my sig.
Good point. I wasn't going to buy all four disks at the same time from the same place (to avoid having them from the same batch, if there's a potential for bad batches - does anybody still do this?) so I was thinking two, then another two 3-6 months down the line.
I have to update RAIDiator anyway, since I'm only on 4.1.4 and this doesn't support 4K sectors does it?
