I currently run my RadyNAS RN204 with a single 6TB Disk, which is running out of space. I have ordered a 10TB disk, and just want to add it to expand the storage to 16TB for the ReadyNAS.
No Need for redundancy. As I already have separate backups,
The current configuration with the single drive installed is showing JBOD, with XRaid active (in Green), as per the screenshot.
Is there a simple way to add the 10TB Disk, with the current configuration, that is not destructive, that allows me to use the full capacity for storage. I dont mind considering treating the new 10TB Drive as a separate Volume.
You'll need to click the X-RAID button and confirm that you wish to disable X-RAID before adding the new disk. You should then be able to add the disk and create a volume using it.
With a single-disk X-RAID volume when you add a disk to an empty slot after a resync the volume will become redundant. What you want is to disable X-RAID and use Flex-RAID.
