ReadyNAS 3100 - Enlarging disks
I have a ReadyNAS 3100 with 4 2 TB HD in RAID 5. I was told I can replace the 2 TB HD with 3 TB HDs. Is it correct? Where can I locate a list of 3TB HDs suitable to be used with the ReadyNAS3100? ...

Thank you for the message and the information.
Do you mean that if I replace the 4 existing 2TB disks (8 TB raw disk space corresponding to about 5,4 TB available disk space in RAID) with 4 3 TB disks I will have anyway 8 TB raw disk space corresponding to about 5,4 TB available disk space?
