Disk size extension
Hi.
I have 2 disks 2TB. And I want to change it to 2 disks 4 TB.
I want to remove one disk, and insert second disk 4 TB.
After I want to remove second disk 2 TB and insert disk 4 TB.
Is it possible?

If you are running XRAID or RAID-1, then hot-swapping the disks (NAS running) one at a time is the correct process. Wait until the first disk is completely synced before inserting the second.
Expansion will happen at the end of the process (after the first 2 TB of the second disk is synced, the expansion process will start).
