Can I change from Raid 5 to Raid 6 without any major issues?
my system DS3615xs - DSM 6.1.7-15284 Update 3
hardware - i7 3770K/P8Z77-V pro (8 sata board)/8Gb ram with 1x LSI SAS 9201-8i
8x 4TB hard drives in raid 5 & 2x 250GB SSD's cache (at present 6 sata's go to MB & 4 sata's to LSI card)
I wanted to add an extra (9th) 4TB HDD for the extra parity, but I've read somewhere that raid 6 needs to run off hardware raid & whereas raid 5 can run off software raid ?
