QNAP NAS Community Forum

Hello, i have Qnap tbs-453a-4g-960gb (with four 240Gb SSD M.2 drives). I want to change one of them to 1Tb SSD M.2 Samsung 970 EVO 1ТБ (model MZ-V7E1T0BW). So it's will be 3x240gb and 1x1Tb. It's appropriate? And how to migrate all data from one of 240Gb drives before replacement?

if they are all single drives, it needs to be all manual

remove the m2 .. insert the new m2..recreate shares..restore data from backups

with single drives you need backups at all times (even more than with raid1+)

Please, more detailed, step by step When replacing 1 disk I will need to re-install the operating system? Thanx!

As the default folders are on the first volume created, you need to restore them on swap, check the online manual for directions

As you still haven't disclosed the volume type (single, RAID,etc) .. no help can be given

I go to disk management, I see that I have RAID5: http://joxi.ru/D2Pye73CkpVVNA
Is it possible to change the disk # 1 or this disk is the system disk?
I see the option to replace the disk, chose disk #1 and it offers me to replace the disk: http://joxi.ru/vAWelGLIq1MMWm
There is no warning about the need to make a backup.
It is not written that it is necessary to turn off the power to replace the disk.
It is not specified what to do next after installation(

Very big request, write, as act...

all of them in one raid5 so none of them is the system disk by itself (the resulting raid5 is the system volume)

size expansion method for m2 arrays is unclear ...contact qnap for clarification
