I'm pretty sure you are not actually using raid 2, you are probably using raid 0 or 5. If you are using raid 0 there is no way you can swap disks you will have to store the data elsewhere and restore it after you have set up your new array. If it's raid 5 I think there might be some way of adding one disk at a time until all the disks have been replaced but I've never done it and it might depend on your raid controller.

What do you mean by RAID 2? There's no such thing anymore, RAID 2 was phased out after drives began implementing the correction code natively.

 

Perhaps you mean RAID 0 or RAID 5 like Captain3xtreme said?

Dude, you should upgrade to super duper raid 0, epic fail...

 

As for reconfiguring, it all depends on,

 

1. Are you buying three new mSATA drives?

2. Do you want to RAID them?

3. Did you backup or copy any valuable data/info from the current RAID to a separate disk so you can get it back?

4. Do you have the drivers ready to install after the OS is installed?

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.
