Ooops- didn't see the RAID.

You can add another drive, but whether or not that can be separate from
the existing RAID depends on your controller- most CAN handle multiple
arrays, but you need to see if yours does.  If it does not, yes, you'll
have to "reinstall", but that's painless with one of the Supertars -
