Adding another pair of drives?
Hi all,
This has been propably asked thousands of times, but I could not answer and I'm asking again. I have ReadyNAS 526X with pair of 6 TB disks. I installed another pair hoping to get 12 TB ...

Yes.

What errors are you seeing?

I also wonder why I get "Unrecognized server error", when updating firmware manually. I'm currently running on 6.9.3.
I haven't seen that in quite a while. What browser are you using?

What did I do wrong and how can I fix this? I want to see both pairs mirrored.
As Marc_V says, XRAID is designed to switch to RAID-5. You still have single redundancy (protection against a single disk failure).
Did you want two RAID-1 volumes? Or RAID-10??? Maybe explain the rationale, as you might be better off with your current RAID configuration.
Thanks for Your answers,

I think the errors were Sata errors.
I did use Microsoft Edge.
I cannot confirm errors at the moment. It seems the workstation I've used as ReadyNAS admin has lost the password to RN526 last night while I was away. None of my RN Passwords I've written down on paper is not working there. Do I need to reset the whole thing to recover my password?
