I'm new to RAID & have some questions. To start with, can I start out with 3 HDDs in a 5 or 8-bay Terramaster RAID enclosure configured for RAID 5 & add drives of the same storage capacity later to increase storage capacity without having to do anything else? Thanks, Gary

Yes, you can start with 3 HDDs in a RAID 5 configuration in a 5 or 8-bay Terramaster RAID enclosure and add more drives later to increase storage capacity without having to do anything else. This is one of the advantages of RAID 5, which allows you to add more drives to the array and increase the overall storage capacity without having to reset the entire array.
