Setting up... encryption?

OK, that's good to know. Now, once I build an encrypted volume... can I add disks or replace disks to that encrypted volume?

I had 6x2TB drives that were encrypted with Raid 6. At some later point I upgraded the 2TB dirves to 4TB drives one at a time. Each drive took about a day to sync back up to array. When the last 4TB drive was added and synced to array the system then automatically increased the volume size.

PS. You will also need a USB key to store the boot encryption key on, which will need to be inserted when booting. You should dismount it from the web interface before removing it.

PPS. You may want to test writing and reading to your system as it sits now so you can compare how fast / slow it is compared to encrypted drive in terms for disk writes/reads. I wish I did that.

PPPS. hehe, make sure to update your firmware to 6.1.6 [RC10] (And do a factory reset which will delete all existing data on your whole device) as a minimum while you still have a system with nothing on it
