Upgrading Netgear ReadyNAS Disks
I have a ReadyNAS DUO V2 a with 2 x 2TB disks purchased in 2013 which are getting close to capacity. The right hand disk is a system copy of the left hand disk. I just wanted to check as to the disk upgrade process as I wish to install 2 x 4TB disks. So I have a list of questions which hopefully can be answred by the group. I did find one post that referred to upgrading the disks but it was a little ambiguous. So here goes: 1) Is 4TB disk the max I can install? I looked many years ago and possibly 8Tb was the max but cannot locate that information. 2) The process I believe I need to follow is to leave the box running, remove the right hand disk but leave the left hand disk in situ. Install the new 4Tb disk in the right hand slot and wait for a period to allow it to be formatted and then the system copies the 2Tb left hand disk to it. 3) How long is this likely to take and is there a way of confirming this has complete on the admin console? 4) After this process has complete , remove both disks and move the newly copied 4Tb disk to the left slot and the other clean 4Tb disk to the right hand slot. 5) STore the old 2Tb disks for posteriety! :-) Am I missing anything from this process? many thanks for any help...
