Thanks for the replies. I have done a few tests, cloning bit by bit the existing tired disks with new ones becuase I was told that the disks are optimised with either firmware or a control script. Surprisingly, the drive set rebuilt perfectly and I am not encountering any problems .... as yet. I have moved the raid from 250gig disks to 1 terrabyte and it all mounts, which seems extremely strange.
The unity is solid tech and I am no IT person so I prefer to keep the beasts alive.

I have to decommission them, and I would like them to have a second life as intranet servers. But I know that the Avid disks etc are non standard. So I was wondering how to render these very useful boxes into simple SAN / NAS where I can put off the shelf disks in, not the avid ones.
