    Is it possible to replace hot swappable drives in a RAID 5 array with drives with a much larger capacity? And if so, will they be able to rebuild automatically? We will be staying with the same O.S.
    As they are set up now we have two 18.2 GB Drives in slots 0 and 1 and four 36.4 GB drives in slots 3 - 6. Can the two 18.2 GB Drives be swapped and auto rebuilt 1 at a time with, for instance, 72.8 GB Drives?

    Thanks in advance for your time
