Upgrade hard drives on software RAID-1

[Sean_Mk]

Hey Intel

I have a software RAID-1  on Windows 11  that is working great

The only issue is that I am running out of space,

Currently the Raid is comprised of two 4TB drives.
I would like to upgrade both to a new 14TB (two HDD both same 14TB Capacity and same brand)

Can you help me with the steps on how to upgrade both hard drives with the large capacity hard drives?

If you can provide step by step on how I would really appreciate it!

Hi @Sean_Mk,

Before upgrading, back up important data to an external drive or cloud storage to prevent loss. Monitor the RAID rebuild process, as it can take several hours. After upgrading, verify that all data is intact and accessible. Update RAID settings for the new drive sizes. Test your system for stability and performance to ensure everything works properly.

Here are the steps: Move a RAID 1 Volume to Larger Hard Drive

If you encounter any issues. please let me know so I can further assist you.
