Drive Upgrade from 1TB to 2TB
I've been using a ReadyNAS Duo RND2110 for home backups for several years now. I have about 675 GB of data and want to upgrade both drives from 1TB to 2TB. I'm seeking input on drive recommendations...
I bought two WD30EFRX (3TB) to replace the 1TB drives. I have a good backup of my ReadyNAS data and am ready to proceed with replacing the drives. Is the following a good approach?
Upgrade to latest version of RAIDiator
Do a config backup
Remove both 1TB drives
Install both 3TB drives
Perform factory reset per instructions on link you provided above
Restore Config backup
* Can I then put one of the 1TB drives in bay 1 and let it sync to the new 3TB drive in bay 2 to restore the data? After it syncs, move the 3TB drive from bay 2 to bay 1, install the second new 3TB drive in bay 2 and let it sync?
