ReadyNSW 6 - Raid0 - increase storage
I have a ReadyNAS 104 running v6.10.3 in Raid0.
It's a four bay system with 3 4Tb drives installed. I was wanting to find out how I add another drive. Do I have to wipe everything and start again?

No.
The safest approach is to create a second volume, and move some shares to it.
Though it is possible to expand an existing volume. See page 40 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/READYNAS_OS_6_SM_EN.pdf
There is also some information here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_FlexRAID_Optimization_Guide.pdf Note you will need to choose the "concatenated" mode to join the disk to your existing volume.
- Thank you for your quick reply. I will try it out today.
I'm guessing the system will go into resyncing?
How do I know if it's resyncing?
