Thanks all for the advice. I have installed two Western Digital Red 4TB drives in slots 1 and 2 and left the two 1TB drives in slots 3 and 4. I followed the process of inserting the first 4TB drive in the empty slot and let it resynch, then removed the 1.5TB drive in slot 2 and replaced it with the second 4TB drive. The second drive is still resynching, and reporting about 4 hours to complete.
Since the two 1TB drives are older, I would like to run some tests on them. I noticed that there is an option for "Disk Test" under the System:Volume tab, but I can not find any documentation on it. I ran the process, and got messages that the disk test had started and finished, but I can not find where the results are displayed. Can anyone point me to the documentation on the command or tell me how to see the results?
