Hi Folks,

Just have quick and general question on designing a scalable and redundant storage solution.

I currently have 4200 with 3x80GB and 1x100GB (drive came when I purchased).

What's the best way to seamlessly migrate to 1TB in the future? Shall I use RAID5 config or RAID1? I'll probably have to use the existing drive for now but know it will be filled within 6-8months...

I am curious on the the best practices to migrate data when upgrading to larger drives (4x250DB)

Appreciate any guidance from seasoned users of Snap servers....

Thanks in advance...
