[Solved] Adding Additional Drives to RAID0 Setup
Posted: Thu Apr 20, 2017 5:35 pm
I have a AS-604T which has 2x6TB drives in it configured as RAID0. In the next few weeks I'm hoping to purchase another pair of 6TB drives to add to the NAS.
I've been searching through the forum and reading various PDFs, but can't find anything specific to upgrading a RAID0 configuration.
Would I be right in saying that I just insert the new drives, go into the Storage Manager, select the two new drives and have some option to add them to the existing RAID0 array? That seems to be the way that other upgrades to various RAID types are explained, but is it that simple? I'll be backing up the existing data anyway prior to the upgrade, but was just crossing my fingers that I don't have to reinitialise the entire RAID array and then have to do a full restore.
