To answer a previous question, I upgrade by installing three new drives in a 550, leaving the right most (your right facing the front of the 550) as the right most drive seems to the first that boot is tried on. Actually all you need to do is leave one old drive in any position but this way seemed faster The OS will be copied to all the new drives, probably quickly but I left the 550 over night, after that swap out the last drive, first boot may be slower as the new drive is tried for boot until a timeout then boot tries next drive. Once it's booted up make your new big array and have fun.
