Expanding a RAID5

1,382 Views

Hi All,

I have a RAID5 currently setup on a GA-H57M-USB3. The RAID consists of 3x1tb samsung drives. I have just purchased two more 1tb drives and I want to add them into the current array.

The problem I have is that the Intel Rapid Storage Technology software doesnt seem to be displaying the correct option.

The help guide in the software says i just need to select the volume and click "add disk" on the left. The option however is not there.

I thought it may be because I currently have a system partition on the volume and maybe it doesnt let you expand an array that has a partition like this.

Has anyone had any luck expanding a RAID5 on an intel raid controller in this way? or has any advice?

Regards, Z
