Replacing drives in a Raid 1 Static volume

Post by Doozer »

My TS-251 with 2 x 3 TB Raid 1 has reached 85%. So I bought 2 x 6 TB.

However, when searching for replacement guidelines I found out I have a Static Volume, no Storage Pool.

I don’t mind downtime, and I have an external 3 TB USB drive.

Can someone please point me to a guide for upgrading drives and hopefully not have to reinstall everything?

Thank you very much for your support!

Thank you very much for your help! I thought the guide only were for storage pools. Replacement and expansion is done.

Have a great day!
