With time passes by, the scheduled size of RAID 1 partitions in server may become unable to satisfy users' requirement. When the disk space of system partition is low, system will run slower and slower or even crash.
At this time, what we need is partition magic server that helps us resize partition of RAID 1 without deleting partition, formatting partition, or rebuilding server or RAID.

Notes to resize RAID 1 partition
1. For operating system, RAID 1 virtual drive is the same with physical hard drive, and resizing physical disk partition is the same with resizing RAID 1 partition. We can shrink one virtual data partition of the same RAID 1 array and release some space then extend system drive with the unallocated space.
2. If RAID 1 array has no free space on all virtual partitions, we need to copy the whole RAID 1 array to another larger RAID 1, or physical hard drive, and then resize partitions (It is not allowed to add new disk to RAID 1).
3. Only hardware RAID 1 can be resized directly. We need to convert dynamic disk to basic disk before resizing.
Security and stability are extremely important for server and RAID storage. To choose a reliable and suitable partition magic server is not so easy. Therefore here we strongly recommend MiniTool Partition Wizard Server Edition to you. With this partition magic server, we can easily resize physical or RAID virtual partition.

How to resize RAID 1 array virtual partition with partition magic server
First of all, check RAID array virtual drive and partitions with Disk Management Tool.

Firstly, launch MiniTool Partition Wizard Server Edition, and we can see all condition about partitions and disks.



We can select one partition in the list to shrink and release some space. Right click it and select "Move/Resize" in shortcut menu. In the next interface, shrink the partition by dragging the border of partition handle.



After clicking "OK" button, there will be some unallocated space in disk.



With unallocated space, we can extend system partition to make it perform better. Right click system partition and select "Move/Resize" option in shortcut menu. In the next interface, drag the border of partition handle to extend the partition with unallocated space.



After clicking "OK" button, we can find the system partition extended. Back to main interface, click "Apply" button to execute all operations.



The operation is so simple that almost every user can do that. Please visit the official website of MiniTool Partition Wizard for more information: http://www.partitionwizard.com.
