readynas 3100
Hi, I have a readynas 3100, and it has only 3TB Memory. Now I bought 4, 4TB hard drives, I would like to replace these with the old 1TB hard drives with hot swap. Is there any special way to do ...
If you started with a 3 TB volume at your initial install, then you can expand to 11 TB. 4x3TB would expand to 9 TB, which is under the limit.
So assuming we are correct on the 3 TB initial install, you should be able to hot-swap one drive at a time.
A backup is recommended, since the RAID array is unprotected during expansion.
