ReadyNAS Duo, Adding 2nd disk as ACTUAL 2nd disk?
Hello dear ReadyNAS users, I have a question I could not find the answer to here in the forums or the documentation. Can I add a second disk to a ReadyNAS Duo as an ACTUAL second disk? As far as...
I have an additional question to this. Not sure if I should start a new thread, but lets try it in here first...
If I setup a disk in this Flex-RAID mode, can the ReadyNAS read this disk when it's connected to one of the USB ports? Or only when fixed internally?
I'm asking this for any "future plans". Let's say I have a NAS with two independent disks of 1TB and I decide to replace one of the disks with a larger drive, say 2TB. Would I need to copy all the data from the old 1TB drive somewhere else first, upgrade the drive and then copy everything back? Or can I just take out the "old" 1TB drive, insert a new 2TB drive and then connect the old drive to USB and copy everything over just once?
