Do be mindful that if you are removing the old drives from the network,
you probably need to remove the ""server that they stored from the
network too.

Seeing as how you are purchasing additional drives, it is trivial to
image from one set of drives to another set while re-sizing things as
you go. This is actually a *very* *save* way to go. If there is a
problem with the new drives, simply re-connect the old drives. If
everything goes well, you can re-purpose the old drives if you want to
in a month or two of "safety net".

Most of the image-while-resizing-on-the-fly-to-new-drives jobs that I've
done have been circa two to three hours worth of time, and most of that
is physically handling the drives.

The new drives open up a lot more options and make things a lot safer
and easier.
