Have a 4100 which has been running fine with two 80GB drives as a RAID-1 mirrored array. Want to expand capacity and I understand from posts that adding two more drives expanding to RAID-5 means wipe out everything there and start all over.

For our needs, two mirrored 80GB arrays would work out just fine. Does the 4100 support this? Manual on page 19 isn't clear. Appreciate comment from someone who has tried this.

Cheers de Mark
