ReadyNAS Ultra 2
Hi
I just bought this to myself for christmas :-)
It came along with one disk of 2TB only.
Today I bought another 2 TB and I just inserted it.
But how and where do I add this?
I can see both disk under Volume Settings.
But the green light is just blinking at the new disk,
and there still only is 2 TB data.
I hope someone can help me.

- A resync is automatically occurring. Once this is complete you will have a redundant (if any one disk fails data remains intact) volume.
Is this what you want? - No I prefer to have 4 GB of storage instead.
Can this be done ?
I have allmost used all the storagespace on disk number one,
thats why I bought another.
I hope this can be done without delteting something...
I think you will need to go back to factory default, and select "flex raid" via RAIDar. This needs to be done within 10 minutes of the completion of the factory default. This WILL erase your drives, so you will need need to restore your data from backup.lunapark wrote: No I prefer to have 4 TB of storage instead.

- Yes. Here's what I'd do (after backing up data):
1. Update to latest RAIDiator, rebooting when prompted
2. Verify update completed successfully
3. Do a factory default (e.g. via System > Update > Factory Default in Frontview): wipes all data, settings, everything
4. Discover NAS using RAIDar (http://www.readynas.com/downloads). NAS will do a few preliminary tasks and then will give you a 10 minute window to click setup and choose RAID mode. Choose Flex-RAID. After this time if you haven't made a choice the RAID option is automatically chosen and disks are wiped. You can abort the factory default by powering down the ReadyNAS however you can during the 10 minute window.
5. Delete the volume automatically created and create two RAID-0 volumes one per disk. That way if one disk fails only the data on the volume utilising that disk is lost.
