X-Raid is it for me?
Hi. iam a proud owner of a ReadyNAS NVX BE. I have been running Raid 0 I believe with no redundancy but now im getting a few errors from one of my disks. Its has been running fine for atleast 3 yea...
If you have 2x1TB and want to go to 2x4TB, then you
(a) remove one 1TB drive and replace it with a 4 TB drive (with the NAS running)
(b) wait for the NAS to resync
(c) remove the second 1 TB drive, and replace it with the second 4 TB drive (again with the NAS running)
(d) The volume then expands to 4 TB.
During this process the data is accessible, though the NAS will be somewhat slower then usual.
It's always a good idea to have a backup, especially when you are manipulating disks.
