* Go for it. I'm not great at putting things down, especially in the wiki. I'll fill in anything that you need just ask. I'd also be good for someone else to run through the steps and ensure they are accurate and re-document what they did. <small>— [[User:Slords|Slords]] ([[User talk:Slords|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Slords|contribs]]).</small> 16:10, 18 August 2007 (MDT)

* I'd hope most people are using raid, for safety in case a disk fails.
This howto is for adding another disk just for storage, if it is mounted as an ibay users should be able to appreciate it is vulnerable and backup accordingly. If the single disk fails you just need to restore the ibay.
If I understand the alternative, you are adding a single disk on top of a raid system, ie data can be written to the raid disks or the single disk, hence you won't know what data is on the raid or on the single disk, so if the extra disk fails you need to do a system restore.
