RN3138 upgrading from 4TB drives to 10 TB drives

I am upgrading our Netgear RN3138 from (4) 4 TB drives to (4) 10 TB drives.  How long will this process take and can you use the NAS while the Raid is rebuilding and drives are expanding?

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

    ReadyNAS Network Storage: Official NETGEAR Community

    There won't be many ReadyNAS users hanging around here.

     

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

    You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
