Replacing 2Tb Seagate Hdd with 3/4 Tb Disks
i have to upgrade storage in one of ReadyNas Pro at our company. its RNDP6000 with 6 Seagate Hdds each of 2Tb in XRaid. Please guide me about the process of replacing the Hdds. i would like to use 3tb...
Are you using single or dual-redundancy?
Using single you would need two disks replaced before expansion can commence. Replace one disk, wait for resync to complete then replace the next one.
Using dual-redundancy four disks need to replace.
As a very rough calculation (6-1)*0.9*3 < 16. So even using single-redundancy you would have to use 4TB (or greater capacity) drives to hit the 16 TiB limit.
