Running on Empty...

lsandersonI'm running low on space on my main computer. I'm sure it's my packrat mentality and a taste for video. I was looking longingly at a Staples deal for 200 GB drives, when I realized that I had a Maxtor 120 sitting in reserve in case one of the three other Maxtor 120 GB drives died in the RAID array. Wait, I thought... can I migrate the array from three drives to four? I signed into the control center, and, the answer is Yes. It's sitting at a 3% right now. WoW, it adds another 120 GB!
Hmm, is that what's called pulling a rabbit out of the hat?
At some point, I've developed multiple copies of files across multiple drives. Mostly I did it intentionally as a backup system in case one of the drives went down. Now I'm trying to recombine the files back into one, and move the video onto the RAID.
