RAID 0 increases performance if nothing else!

If OP was to go the RAID approach, backing up the data then doing RAID and replacing data would work.

I do agree though, just getting a larger HDD and cloning is the easiest, probably the best, approach.

Get a new bigger drive, use the old drive as a "backup" drive. So now you have 2 places to store things in case one fails.

Same happens when one has a single drive - the comment about RAID was unwarranted.

I agreed with you about getting a new bigger drive. Read that last line in the post you quoted.
