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 bot...
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.
