TS219P Disk replacement

[goldendel]

Hello,

I'm running low on space and I would like to migrate off my 2x WD20EADS to 2x WD60EFRX. The manual seems to suggest I can just "expand capacity" to expand the RAID 1, keeping all my data. Is it this simple or are there some gotchas I need to know about?

Thanks for your help,

Tim

no that should work just fine, just follow through with the "expand capacity" steps and you should be fine

just make sure you have a current backup of your files, just in case something goes wrong

Yes ... pray the remaining Green don't go belly up during the full RAID1 resync.

Thanks! I'll keep you posted once I have the WD60EFRX's.

Cheers,

@Dolbyman and @schmaku it all went without a hiccup. Thanks for your advice.
