upgraded HDD but capacity not increased

Post by jj8431 »

Hi I'm using a TS-228, I recently upgraded the HDD from 1TB to 2TB, but I there's a problem the capacity was still shown as 1TB, anybody knows how to fix it?

When I replaced the first HDD, in the middle I suddenly realized that at that day there would be an planned power cut out on that day, so I just shutdown the NAS in the middle of process, considering a shutdown is better than a power lost in the perspective of data lost possibility.

The next day I resumed the process it seems restarted from beginning. Now every thing looks OK except the capacity is still 1TB and I couldn't find anywhere to increase it.

If the two drives are in a RAID you'll need to follow these steps: (as stated by dolbyman)
