I am at present running my 2 x 120Gig SATA hard drives in a mirrored (RAID 1) array. I am running out of space on my discs and I only have 2 SATA connections on the motherboard.

If I swap one of the discs out for a larger one and then wait for them to automatically rebuild, then swap the second one out for another larger one, will they then read the extra space? Or will I be stuck with 2 x 250gig hard drives that think they are 120gig?

I don't really want to start from scratch again.
