the drives should be visually represented in the enclosure on the disk/vjbod screen (you can see what slot they occupy)

Re: Replace 4TB drives with larger capacity drives
The simplest and safest for you would be 2 12TB drives in Raid 1 or 4+ of the same size drives in Raid 5/6starnz wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 7:03 am Thank you for the help to this point.
I now have the RAID group backed up and am ready to pull the two 4TB drives that made up the group and insert my 12TB drive. How do I know which two of my 4 drives are associated with the group I just backed up? I have two Raid groups of 2 4TB drives each. I only backed up one group. How do I know which drive locations to pull?

You just have to be very very careful about it.
The GUI will try to help you with that; you probably already know that if you go to the Storage &Snapshots /Disks/VJBOD, if you select a disk it will show you where on the NAS it is installed. And of course, they're numbered and in order
And the RAID Group button will show you all the disks from a certain RAID group.
