Volume automatically expands. »Vertical expansion – replace each disk one-by-one letting it rebuild. After replacing 2 or more disks, reboot to expand capacity automatically. You can keep doing this as larger drives become available. »Alerts sent at every stage to guide through the expansion process, even in native language »No need to have RAID knowledge »No need to use any volume management »Data protected each step of the way – expansion continues after power outage
