Drive Size Order?
I have a NV+v2, with a 500Gb drive in bay 1 and a 2Tb drive in bay 2 (both Seagate), and I am thinking about buying another drive. Option A would be to buy another 2Tb drive to replace the 500Gb dr...
I am using X-Raid...
Originally, I had 2 x 500Gb drives in my original DUO.v1, and then 'upgraded' one of the disks to Seagate 2Tb LP (with the plan to buy another 2Tb).
Then, I changed to the NV+v.2, and in the meantime disk sizes have got larger.
So, rather than just buy another 2Tb drive to replace the 500Gb drive I thought I might as well go for the 3Tb drive instead (and buy another later when I can afford it).
I still want X-Raid functionality, though.
Somehow, I want to retain all my existing data, but with the 2Tb drive in bay 1 and the 3Tb drive in bay 2 (and I appreciate that 1Tb of the 3TB disk will be 'wasted').
It doesn't look as though this is achievable in a simple manner?
If there is a simple way to achieve this I would be grateful for your advice.
