ReadyNas Duo V2 hard disk upgrade suggestions?
I have 2 Samsung SAMSUNG HD154UI 1.5 tb drives in there and they are nearly full m, any suggestions on upgrading these? sifting through the forums I can't see and large suggestions like 3TB..WD Red se...
What question exactly. Boomish mentions checking the HW Compatibility list here, WD Red 2TB and 3TB are there.
Be sure to perform the check mentioned by mgdm to confirm Duo v1 (max 2TB drives) or v2 (max 4TB drives).
Inserting a larger disk should automatically prepare that disk. Once that is ready, replace the other disk also with the new larger size, and then the full array will expand to the new disk size. This assumes you are indeed using X-RAID2. See this thread for a good description.
Note, before starting this process I suggest you take a backup, just in case it goes wrong!
