TS431K Add two together??

Post by Clonetrooper »

My four 8tb discs are full up on my nas as Raid 0

Rather than buy bigger drives can I connect a second nas unit to my enclosure with new drives in to add to the single storage volume ?

Nope. External expansion devices such as the TR-004 can only be used for additional storage pools, not adding drives to an existing internal pool.

Sure but you would end up with two seperate storage devices; one per NAS

OK
I am using the nas just more music collection and its now full
I access the music on my streamer using the minimserver on the qnap software this music server only has one folder address to go to at any one time so if i use a tr 004 to expand capacity i would have to redirect the minimserver to a new path everytime i wanted to listen to music stored on the tr004 because it is a separate storage pool ?

Update !
Minimserver can be directed to up to 8 folders using the Minimwatch app
