Replacing a drive
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2016 10:19 pm
Hey. I have an AS-608T with 4x4tb and 4x6tb drives currently installed and want to swap one of the 4tb disks with an 8tb disk, all the drives are running as single drives. Here's what I plan on doing, let me know if it won't work or will result in data loss.
Swap Volume 3 (4tb) with the new 8tb.
Transfer data from Volume 4 (4tb) to Volume 3 (now 8tb).
Swap out Volume 4 with the old 4tb from Volume 3 and transfer the data on it to Volume 3 (8tb).
