NAS RN212 SSD Detected increasing ATA error count error code
NAS RN212 SSD Detected increasing ATA error count error code I do not see any testing while in the Admin page. I want to test the SSD concerning these errors. This is a new SSD. Is the only testi...
Team Group QX 4tb SSD was the rejected SSD
The SSD in the NAS now shows as a 4.1 TB. I added a 4tb SSD and it will not update the current volume because it is smaller. Is there a way around this? Transfer all data from 4.1 tb to 4tb, boot up on 4tb then add the 4.1tb?

That is the simplest way. Destroy the 4.1 TB volume after you transfer the data and then remove the disk. After that, reboot and hot-insert the 4.1 TB disk.

Interesting. We haven't seen any reports on incompatible SSDs here (at least not in a long time).
Note the Netgear HCL is not a useful guide, it hasn't been updated in a long time.
I am unable to find how to copy the volume to the new drive. Would this be done outside the NAS?
I installed the new drive but since it is smaller it will not expand the volume. I tried to crest a separate volume but the option is not available.

- Create a jbod volume on the new disk.
- Create temporary shares that correspond to the shares on the existing disk These need to have different names
- create and run backup jobs to copy the files to the temporary shares.
- destroy the original volume and rename the shares on the new one
This process will NOT
- copy the home folder
- preserve the hidden .apps folder that apps use
So if you use the home shares, you should copy those manually before you destroy the original volume. If you run apps, then uninstall them before destroying the volume, and reinstall them afterwards.
