Partially expansion ReadyNAS 314, 4x3TB -> 2x10TB + 2x3TB (X-RAID, level 6) possible ?
Dear all, after successfully expanding to disks from 4x3TB to 2x10TB + 2x3TB I was rather surprised that I still got 5.25 TB of max disk space - I thought X-RAID takes care automatically about di...
If you'd used the default single-redundancy, then your volume size would have grown to 16TB (~14.5 TiB). But with dual-redundancy (RAID-6), you waste capacity unless the 4 biggest disks in the array are the same size. In your case that means they all have to match.
So you'll need to upgrade the remaining two 3 TB drives to 10 TB in order to see expansion. That will give you a 20TB volume (~18 TiB).
