Can I upgrade my drives to 2 or 3 TB?
I currently have a ReadNas Duo with two 500 GB SATA drives. Can I upgrade these drives to 2 or 3 TB each? I guess I mean is there a limit on the size of a drive that you can use in the Duo? I ...
Thank you!
I have verified that I have ReadNAS Duo v1 with firmware at current level, 4.1.13. So I could move to 2TB but not 3TB.
The partition log looks to be like 4 k sector partitions as I see "sectors of 1*512 bytes" in the partition.log.
Disk /dev/hde: 500.0 GB, 500097376256 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60800 cylinders, total 976752688 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
So I think from what you have said, I could do the hot-swapable. Would it be preferable to follow your methodology instead?
Dumb question #1. How do I tell if I have "addons?" I doubt I would as I don't recall doing anything of the sort.
Dumb question #2. When backing up the config do I also want to include "Data Volumes - Save the files and folders in the data volumes. This is useful for transferring folder trees and default share contents. It is limited to a combined total of 50MB" as part of the config backup options?
Thank you again!
