If I replace my 1 TB disks w 2 TB disks, will disks defrag?
I plan to replace the two 1 TB disks in my Duo 1 (X-RAID) with two 2 TB disks. One at a time. Hopefully, all will go well and my data will be preserved.
Will this result in the two 2 TB disks getting defragmented (data written more contiguously) and any improved performance?

- alokeprasadMentorCould you elaborate a bit on how to use the app? The documentation is not very clear (to me) on how to compare the checksums over a set of directories.

Never mind. I figured it out. Create Digest and then Test Digest using the .md5 file created by Create Digest.
This will take a long time to create checksums and verify for 700 GB of files over the network!! But at least it is a way to do so. - HERBIEOAspirantYes it it can take some time but it does give you peace of mind if you really want it.
