By "break" you mean delete RAID 5 right? Which RAID set should I use for upgading the HD?

blue68f100 replied in another post (I won't do doble post, so I will reply on this thread). I don't care about the data, since I have it backed up already. I will do a factory rest, disable CA Antivuris, disable Snapshot then shutdown the system. Remove drive 2, 3 and 4 then power it back on. Insert the new HD to slot 2.
After the system sync drive 1 (old) with drive 2 (new). I power it down and take out drive 1 and 2. Insert new drive (was drive 2) into drive 1 slot.
Power the system up (only slot 1 has drive), I put in new drive in slot 2, 3 and 4 (can I put all 3 at the same time or I have to do one at a time after the drive is synced?)
