RAID 10 upgrade

[pcontarioguy]

the system in question

IBM server rack, 6 drive array (hot swap) RAID 10 setup, all drives are 73 gig total storage 204 gig. Server 2008 64bit, SP2

Can I replace the 6 drives with 6 300 gig drives and reclaim the space on the boot volume, or do I have to create another drive letter for the additional space. One other factor, the array is basic now, would changing to dynamic make a difference and when would this change occur, before or after the drive swap

Thanks for your help

It all depends on your raid controller. Check the manual to see if it allows for expansion. I know that the Intel raid controllers I use all allow online expansion and raid migration, but I don't even know what the model number for yours is.
