DUO: Change disk1 to bigger one. No raid
Hi got two disks both 1Tb. Bought a new 2 Tb disk and wanna replace the disk1 for this bigger one. I have no raid at all so I can't just replace it. Is there a way of saving the system from disk ...
These questions are really important. If you have RAID0 but only one volume, then you can't do this expansion without a factory default (losing all your data from both drives and the config).

The operating system and settings are stored on both drives, so that will be saved.
In my view, you really ought to do that anyway (even if you weren't swapping to a new disk). If you ever do need to restore from scratch, remember to reinstall the add-ons before restoring the config.
