Hi, I started using the TVS-671 with 4 x 3TB disks in slots 1-4 in Raid10 configuration. Now I want to add a SSD to create a SSD Cache. However, the system says the SSD cache can only run from slots 1-4. What is the easiest way to vacate one of the slots to take a new SSD drive?
Many thanks, DJ

Turn it off, move the drives to slots 3-6, add the SSDs and turn on.
Then build your cache.
The drive positions are not important.

Thanks storageman. I read somewhere that disk 1 had default files and system stuff which would not work if moved?

Not true. It is the first volume built that contains the default shares and system stuff and not disk 1.deejoy wrote:Thanks storageman. I read somewhere that disk 1 had default files and system stuff which would not work if moved?

Use RAID and external backups. RAID will protect you from disk failure, keep your system running, and data accessible while the disk is replaced, and the RAID rebuilt. Backups will allow you to recover data that is lost or corrupted, or from system failure. One does not replace the other.
