I'm actually looking to upgrade some old 160s to 1TB drives, which will be interesting, if things go well I'll post another guide here.

Did this on two RAID arrays a little while back, and am liable to do it again soon when I get new drives. Setting up the 2x500Gb originally as RAID1 -> RAID5 was easy... adding the 3rd 500Gb drive later took a LOT of time for the array to rebuild (was a slow Dual PIII/1.2Ghz machine mind). but otherwise no problems.
