ReadyNAS 204 - Adding 2 new disks
Hi All,
I have a RN204 (OS v6.4.2) currently with 2x 3TB WD Reds in it. All is good, and I have a 2.72TB RAID 1 volume - looks like X-RAID too.
I have now purchased another 2x 3TB WD Reds. My questions are as follows:
1. Should add them to the existing volume 1 at a time? Adding the 2nd after the unit has completed the re-sync or whatever after the addition of the 1st disk.
2. Should I turn the unit off before adding the new disks?
I have no data on the NAS yet.
Please advise what my best path is...
Kind regards,
Ian
Add the disks one at a time with the unit running.
Wait until the resync completes for the first disk before you add the second.

Thank you.
Exactly the sort of answer I was hoping for - concise and explicit.
First disk added and the re-sync is complete, second one added and the re-sync is in progress.
Kind regards,
Ian
