The new RAID issue  Disk drives are very big (1.5 TB).  Reconstruct of failed, large, disk can take over 36 hours.  Any media error on another disk during reconstruct will cause a data loss.  Adding disks to existing RAID group should not put data in risk. Traditional RAID types (like RAID/5) are not acceptable anymore
