ReadyNas104 Adding a new hard drive
I originally setup my ReadyNas104 with three 3TB WD Red drives using X-RAID. Everything is working perfectly with that setup. I am now trying to add a new unformatted 2TB WD Red drive. The drive ...
XRAID requires the new drive to be the same size or bigger than the existing drives. So it can't add in your 2 TB drive.
You can switch to flexraid, and create a new volume for the 2 TB drives. It won't be protected by RAID, but you can create shares on it.
You can also destroy the current volume and create a new one. You'll lose all the data on the current volume. If you do that, you probably should uninstall all the apps first (and reinstall them when you have a new volume created).
With X-RAID the disks you add need to have at least as high capacity as existing disks.
