ReadyNAS Duo Upgrade to 2TB Hard Drives
Currently I am running with two 1TB HDD's but I need more capacity so have bought two 2TB HDD's. Current HDD's -------------------- Disk 1 Seagate ST31000528AS Disk 2 Seagate ST31000528AS New...
I'm looking at doing the same 2x 500gb to 2 x 2tb upgrade.
Am I right in thinking that I have to take 1x 500gb out, format the drive and back up the duo to the drive over usb.
remove the other 500gb, backup config, insert 2 x 2tb, factory reset, wait..., transfer the back up over usb.
It's just the formatting and backing up step that I don't get - I assume netgear's xraid means that the drives cannot be viewed on their own by putting them in an enclosure and that is why it's required?
Thanks for all the billiant information on these forums - they have saved me on many occasions!
Kind regards
