I'd be with you crash, to upgrade my current 1tb (3x500) array - BUT - intel needs to upgrade their integrated raid controller to a) support volume expansion and b) to allow more than 4 drives on an array. It's far past time that consumer level raid that intel is pushing have these capabilities otherwise the stand alone network storage raid boxes cost less than buying a separate controller and building one yourself.
