Upgrading disk capacity on ReadyNAS 314
Hi,
I own a ReadyNAS 314, running OS 6.4.0 with 4x WD Red 2TB hard drives to Raid 5 with X-Raid enabled. This gives me c. 5.4TB of usable storage. I'm a photographer and consume a lot of stora...
You should of course do a quick check of the SMART stats of the disks already in the NAS before starting to replace the disks. If one of the disks appears to be failing then that one should be replaced first. Take out the old disk and put the new disk in the same slot (preferably test the new disk using vendor tools first as StephenB suggested)
Many thanks for this. Quick question - how do I check the SMART stats of the disks? It looks pretty simple to do on a local devise but I'm struggling to work out how to do it for the NAS disks
