Hi Guys,
I know its been awhile but I just wanted to say your advice worked like a dream !!
I backed up all the data to one of the 4tb drives I bought using an external HDD enclosure.
Here are the steps I followed:-
1) back-up data to spare 4tb drive.
2) Move the two 2tb drives into the new RN314.
3) Move the spare 4TB drive into the new RN314
3) set-up the drives in the RN314 with x-raid (Factory Reset)
5) copy data over from external 4tb HDD
6) put additional 4tb drive into RN314.
Worked great.
However I appear to have a new issue I didn't see coming with the RN314 (Not sure whether to post this here or start a new thread)
But it appears the RN314 will not allow users to update the Plex server that comes pre-installed.
Does anyone here know the reason why ?
Cheers
