Can I move a discs to another bay position?

Post by tajvdz »

I had 3 discs in my AS1004T. Volume 1 is 8tb and I want to keep that one. Volumes 2 and 3 are 2tb and 3tb and I want to replace them with a new 10tb disc. I put the new disc in position 4 and now I am copying the files from discs 2 and 3 to the new one. When I'm finished can I just take disc 2 and 3 out? And is it possible to move the new disc from position 4 to 2? I hope someone can help me.

I posted a question like this before but for some reason it is gone.

Yes, the OS recognize the disk by its UUID. So you can use any slots of the bay.

Ok, so there is nothing more I have to do? Just move it to another slot? What about the shared folder? Is that moving from volume 4 to volumr 2 itself or what?

The volume # and shares will stay with the disk even if you were to move it to bay #1. So the new disk with volume #4 will still remain as volume #4 when you move it to the bay #2. I would recommend though that after you're done, remove the volumes # 2 and 3 from the storage manager or I believe it will complain about missing volumes when they are physically removed. Note this could however potentially delete your data in volume #2 and #3, check first for any warnings as I haven't tried.

Well my intention was to delete everything from volume #2 and #3 and delete the shares as well before I physically remove them. I'm copying the data from the discs to a new one that is volume 4 now. So I don't need #2 and #3 anymore.
