Maybe there's something simple that I'm missing, but I can't figure out how to add a drive. I'm running RAID 0, so that shouldn't be a problem. I have placed the drive in the unit and it shows up, but inactive. Unders Storage Manager, Management/Spare Drive/Remove are all greyed out. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance-

Re: Can't add Drive
Hi ja3,
RAID 0 don't have data protection, thus you can't add a HDD/ expand the RAID volume,
here is RAID level which support add HDD
RAID level support add HDD: RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10*
but this is a good question that we can think about to provide "introduction to RAID management" in our ASUSTOR college
* Quantity of add HDDs can only be even number
Cheers,

Re: Can't add Drive
OK, thanks for the response. FWIW, I would think a lot of people would want to maximize their storage by using RAID 0. Being locked into the first config without ever being able to change or add drives is a big deal. I'm moving over from the home server world, where technologies such as Drive Extender, Storage Spaces, Drive Bender, etc. all allow this sort of thing.
Unfortunately, it's a total deal-killer to me and I will be returning my unit. It's too bad, as I was thrilled with it otherwise.

Re: Can't add Drive
Hi Ja,
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Base on our currently solution, if you want to add more drive into a NAS with Raid0 system, you can create a new volume for those drives.
And thanks for the info of server world technologies, we will see what we can do to improve this.
Many thanks,

Re: Can't add Drive
Hi James,
I have a little question, i'm in the same situation than Ja and i'm would like to have more information about creating a second volume with several disks. If my first volume is full, would i be able to add more more content in my media folder? the content will be automatically inserted in my second volume?
thanks in advance
