Is it possible switch RAID type on the 5200 without data loss? E.g. first installing RAID 6, later switching to RAID 5 when more space is needed without complete backup/restore (and perhaps even without down time (that last thing would be asking too much probably)).

I know it allows for migrating from Raid 1 to 5. Whether it works or not yet I dont know. But I'll edit this when I do.

I did a migrate from raid 1 to raid 5 2 250GB disk to 3 250 GB disks 180 total available, 110 GB used. first attempt seemed to hang on "starting migration" rebooted, retried. Moved almost immediately to "migrating" with a percentage update. Finished in about 5 hours. Cursory check showed data still there. Your mileage may vary.
