HDD installation... am I doing it right?
So I'm very new to this NAS-thing and I honestly don't know Jack Schitt... In my media computer I had two 3TB-drives and one 2TB-drive. I bought a NetGear ReadyNAS 104 and one more 3TB-drive... ...

With XRAID2, the disks you add need to be at least as big as the largest disk in the array. That means you can't add the 2 TB drive into your existing array (though you could use it if you do another factory reset).
I removed the "new" 3TB where I put all movies and installed the other two 3TB before I did it... that I knew I should do ;)
Since the 2TB is still in my media computer and hence is NTFS I will have to do a factory reset to get it "NAS-ready"... or?
First of all I have to get all series on a NAS-ready HDD... as It is right now I've got the two "old" 3TB in the NAS. To be sure which of the disks the data ends up on, should I just remove one of them and then transfer all the files? Am I making any sense?
