Dumb question: I have built raid 5 arrays on computers before, but never on a snap server. I have moved some data over to the single drive currently in the snap server. Once I add drives and build my array, I am assuming that it will just take the data and stripe it onto my other drives. Is this correct, or by building an array from scratch am I going to blow away everything on the single drive? Thanks!
