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...
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?

If you are using RAID0 then there is no resyncing - because there is no RAID redundancy.
With 3x4TB, you'd have 12 TB of space now (shown as 10.9 TiB on the NAS web ui). Is that what you are seeing?
- Thanks Stephen
I had made a copy of everything and was about to redo the whole thing as couldn't get the NAS to add the new drive. Which took some time.
Anyway I tried again from volumes page in settings as created a Group using the new drive. That did it! Without wiping the system.
The ReadyNAS documentation could be a little clearer but v happy to have it sorted.
Again thanks for your help
