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...
Wow, thanks much for the prompt reply!
I'm only single, but would like to go dual redundancy.
Now makes me think the best bang for my buck would be a clean load of 6x4tb drives.
1) back up my 9.2 tb NAS
2) pull my 6 x 2tb drives out.
3) put in 6 x 4tb drives and config for dual redundancy
4) restore my NAS backups to the fresh installed ReadyNAS Pro
questions:
How much space will I have with 6 x 4tb drives with dual? and how much if I just keep it single?
When do I config the dual, after adding the 4th drive?
Thank you so much!
