Hi Stephen,
thank you for your very thorough reply. However, I'm a bit confused as to the complexity of all this. Let's remove the data that's currently stored at my NAS for clarity's sake. It's my problem as to how and where I backup that data.
So I bought the NAS pre-installed with three 2TB drives. I later added the 4th, 5th and 6th drive. So let's say I remove all six drives at once and replace them, all at once, with five 4TB drives. Then I do factory reset/default. My volume will be 4 x 4TB = 16TB, with the 5th drive functioning as redudant correct? Then I can always later add a 6th 4TB drive. Apart from backing up my data somewhere, is it this simple or am I overlooking something?
Many thanks again,
Ruud
