I thought there were only four. The. Stopping RAID the restarting it (a long process) could be done with 5 active units

The answer to your question is: with that system I'm certain ( could be
wrong, it's been awhile) the RAID card needs four drive units, and will
not start RAID with 3 units. That came a bit later with more advanced
controller cards. So no, you could not do that.

The system has six disk slots, all full. One should go on a logical level. Leaves five. This is more than four. I can't see a problem here. :-)

:wq! PoC
