What would those modern enterprise-grade RAID card would be ?

As a side question, I have a 3ware 9500S-8 cards which drives 8 raptor
74GB drives in RAID5, This RAID array is now almost full .. Does the
3ware allows to replace drives with a higher capacity and extend the
size of the raid array?
I was hoping of being able to do something like:
replace one drive, rebuild RAID, repeat until all have been changed
and finally increase the size of the partition...

Quite happy with the 3ware, it's been running for over 4 years without
a single problem.
