Wanting to know if I can start with 2 drives in AS5304T

[WaYwRd180]

Good evening all,

I am looking into upgrading my Synology DS215J and wanting a 4 bay and something that is good at transcoding for my PLEX setup.
I love the look of this AS5304T unit and can see that other similar spec NAS boxes from QNAP and Synology have the simple ability to increase from 2 drives and expand the Raid to Raid 5 with a simple migrate task in there device software.

Is this also possible on this one?

I can really afford to buy 4 drives so want to start new with 2 and increase over time?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is where I read on the others.... https://nascompares.com/possible-having ... d-another/

Thanks
Justin

Is Snapshots supported on a 2 disk Mirror 1 set? Or does it require a Raid5 setup or better? I've purchased 2 12TB Ironwolf drives for a SBC setup but it isn't working out. Am looking to replace it with a AS5304T and adding additional drives in the future.

I have snapshots working fine with a 2 disk RAID1 Btrfs AS3102T

Thanks for the confirmation.
