Hi, I have a Poweredge T320 server with an H310 controller in RAID 5 with three 500gb disks. I have room to add one more 500gb drive to the array, but would like to get more disk space. With the H310 controller, can I shutdown the server, replace 1 500gb drive in the array with a 1TB drive, start the server and let the array rebuild, and use all of the 1TB? If I do this replacement individually with all 3 drives, would it fully use the 1TB on each of the 3 drives? Or do I need to swap out all the drives and restore all data from backup onto the new array with 3 1TB drives? Thank you for any suggestions.
