RN204 adding smaller disk
I just got an RN 204 and have been migrating all of my data to it. it's on latest firmware 6.4.2 I think, have 2x5TB drives in it, and am running the default X-Raid. I'm finishing off moving everyt...
The ReadyNAS won't add the smaller drive to the array. You could switch to flexraid and add it as a separate (jbod) volume.
FWIW, if you did a factory reset with all drives in place you'd end up with 9 TB of storage (~8.2 TiB). The rule is to sum the drives and subtract the largest.

Thank you. Will keep the 4TB drive in my PC and use that as a backup for the important stuff.
