I am in the process of migration my R4 drive from a RAID 5 over to RAID 0. It's been going for 12 hours so far and has only done 5%. Can I shut down the computer (and will the drive keep working on this task) or do I need to leave the computer on until it's finished? At this rate it will be about 10 days.
Can I shut the computer down during a raid migration?

Thanks. The process has finished now but the capacity of the drive hasn't increased. If I go to OSX disc utility, it says it has but if I click on the info on the drive itself, it says it hasn't. Have a I missed a stage in increasing the capacity. I've done this before with an identical drive and didn't have any problems increasing the size but it was some time ago so I can't remember what I did.
Hi Randy,
Please do not shutdown the computer or Pegasus unit until the migration process is completed.
Thank you.
