Expanding Storage on RN104
Hi All, I am looking to expand the storage on my RN104. Currently I have 2x 4TB drives set up in JBOD in slot's 1 & 2. My plan is to migrate to 8TB drives. I also want to set-up my RAID so it has...
Hi all, thanks again for the info. A fair chunk of my data is media for my media centre runing Kodi. The important stuff is backed up onto a 2TB drive and stored. So that I am not too worried about.
I have a USB3 dock already, I used it to migrate from my old tower PC with 10 SATA drives with various sizes. It was a beast of a machine lol.
I purchased the two new 4TB's today. I'll migrate to those via USB. Restore my NAS, start fresh & should be ready to have my new 12TB array soon.
If I have any questions, I'll come back :)
Thanks again!
Hi StephenB, So I have it all set up now. 2x4TB installed. X-RAID running. It's "resyncing" & from what I can tell, this is to get the two drives alligned in sectors or something?
Can I start moving stuff back whilst this operation is running? Or am I best to wait until it is completed?
Also, just to revisit the upgrading down the line. If I want to expand, is it just as simple as swapping out drives?
Thank you again for your help & support on this :)
Chers, Grant
