Re: Add HD to onboard Intel Raid 5
Rebuilding the array was an obvious option before I even posted anything on here. It's equivalent to saying if there's an error in windows, format and reinstall. That option is always there, but not necessary one you want to take. The point of posting on here was to see if I had any other options. My current raid volume has 3TB of data I cannot move anywhere else in the meantime, to rebuild, as I do not have that much space anywhere else. Anyways, after some more research and lots of reading, it turns out that the option to expand the array is easily available, just in a different place than the one I was looking.
In my first post, I explained that within Intel Matrix Storage Console, I was right-clicking on the newly added HD, and was looking for an option to add it to the array. It turns out, you need to:
1. Right-click on the RAID Volume
2. Select Modify Volume
3. Check the option to expand array
4. And then Select the newly added drive to be added to the array.
I've verified that this works, and my RAID is in the process of rebuilding now.
