Changing HDD 2x 6TB
Hi there, I tried to change my disks (before 3 TB) and bought two WD Red 6 TB. First I changed disk 2 (take off the old one an put in the new). It seemed to me, that the synchronisation works. It...
It works!!!!!
Thank you for your help. It was a hard way to change the disks and without your helf .....:smileysad:
I summarize what I´ve learned:
1. Never ever change a disk if you aren´t VERY SHURE that the synchronisation is ready!
2. Always change the disk, when the NAS is working (hot swapping)!
3. Reboot in case of little errors.

You didn't say you'd completed both syncs. I thought you still had 3 TB + 6 TB.
Try rebooting the NAS, and see if the volume expands. It should do another resync (on the unused space).
It works!!!!!
