HP P410 controller Qs

Hi there

 

I've got a HP microserver (N54L) sitting here with a few drives running just in JBOD on the stock controller. Am wanting to get around to doing it justice and getting a little raid setup in it.

 

What my question is, can can you set it up with two drives in a mirror, and use that as you would normally for a while. Then later on down the line when my storage requirements grow can i expand the array into a RAID 5 setup by adding another identical drive without data loss. I'm guessing this would be done through the HP ACU?

 

Also, best bang:buck as for cache size? And is a cache backup battery needed?

 

Thanks for any help

Desktop: i5 2500k @ 4.8GHz stable, 16GB Corsair XMS3, Asus P8P67, Corsair H50 AIO Liquid cooler (worst decision in the build), Corsair GS600, Intel 520 180GB, and to top it all off... An nvidia gt630!

Laptop: Dell Vostro 3360, i7 3517U, 8GB, 120GB Samsung 840 Evo, Intel 7260 Dual band AC, Dell 4G wireless modem

Workstation(in the making): Two Xeon X5650 processors (24 threads!), Supermicro X8DTE-F,56 GB ECC ram (more to come, a lot more), very old 'industrial computer' case, supermicro heatsinks (amazingly silent) and as for the rest, i've not bought it yet!
