Duo v1; RAIDiator 4.1.8; X-RAID -> upgrade 1 TB to 2 TB disc
I have a Duo ver 1 (SPARC) with 2 x 1 TB drives. I want to upgrade them to 2 x 2 TB drives. The 2 TB drives are on HCL list (Seagate ST2000DM001). Should I pop out an existing drive and replace i...
If you hot-swap the drive, then the NAS detects the deletion and insertion. If you power down/power up, then it has to infer that a new drive is inserted. So the NAS gets a bit more information on what you are doing if you hot-swap.
The NAS should handle the hot-swap even if a backup or add-on is doing something, though it goes faster if it isn't. Not sure why cloud is suggesting that you look at processes, as that requires ssh access.
Anyway, it is always a good idea to update your backup before replacing disks.
