Thank you vandermerwe for the clear advice.
My NV+ (4 x 750GB X-RAID) is the backup device for my personal video files and the DVD and Blu-ray disks that I have made from them. There is nowhere to backup these files while I add new drives.

Comments and suggestions for other options would be appreciated.
