help with ultra 4 storage expansion (from 2x2tb drives to ?)
hi, have had a lot of success here in the forum recently, so am again reaching out for some help. i currently have two 2tb drives in my ultra 4. current configuration is RAID Level X-RAID2, 2 dis...
You are using X-RAID2 so you have a single volume. Say you were to add 2x4TB disks the volume capacity would increase by about 5.4TB
Do note that there are a few expansion limitations.
1. Cannot expand volume by more than 8TB over the life of the volume. If your volume capacity was 1.8TB when you last did a factory reset you can't expand past 9.8TB.
2. Cannot expand past 16TB. You would need to backup your data, do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) with the disks in place and restore your data from backup to get a higher capacity volume than 16TB.
