Is it possible to enlarge the initial RAID size by adding single drives
later on?

If i start off with 4*500gb (should give me 1.5tb), can I add one 500gb
to the raid later, and will the total size then grow 500gb and still
have the same protection?

You cannot expand a RAID-Z stripe by adding a disk.

Take a look at this thread (look for Eric Schrock's replies).

For more information on RAID-Z, please see

Hope that helps!
