That program is really good and I have used it many times.  

I ran into an issue I never experienced in the past.  I was growing a large NTFS
partition on one of my arrays.  It was going from 62TB to 98TB.  I had to change
the cluster size on the NTFS partition to 32KB in order to do that.

EaseUS will automatically do that, or you can also select it as an option to
just change the default cluster size.  The one thing to keep in mind however, is
this takes A LONG TIME to complete.  With a partition that large, probably
weeks.  

It ended up being faster for me to re-create the partition from scratch and
re-copy everything.
