I want to temporarily switching to a larger drive just to test. Can I take out all my existing drives and replace them with 3TB (currently 2TB) to see if it works? 

And then put back the 2TB drives, will my data still be there?

Hi Gary,

Yes, It should work . We would recommend you to mark the drives and then remove it to re-use later.

The Pegasus controller will read the information on the drives if they are used in same seqeunce.

Thanks !

Do I have to configure the raid in any way? When I replug the old drives in, it will automatically recreate the volumn?
