Want to add a 3rd 4TB drivecto 451.
Hi,
I have 2 x 4TB drives and am getting the message it is now 80% full.
I have a new 4TB ready, how do I go about adding it.
Just put it in ?
Thanks

Depends on how the drives are setup
RAID1,0?
Spanning JBOD
Pooled single drives
unknown

Coulda posted some screenshots
But it sounds like a RAID1 (due to the effective space)...If RAID1 then just follow the steps in the manual to convert the RAID1 to RAID5

Just noticed the overview .. yes, the one disks is purple (meaning free) .. it was never used .. yes
So migration should be
Single(current)>RAID1(2 disks)>RAID5(3 disks)
