RAID1 upgrading bad drive
Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2017 2:51 am
hello,
Model is AS1002T. Originally I set it up my 2 bay NAS as RAID1 with two 1TB drives.
Drive #2 is shot. I removed it a while ago. I can't access the "management" option for the volume.
What would be the best way to upgrade to two 2TB drives? Can I add one 2TB to the vacant slot, then once it's done synchronizing, swap out the first drive (1TB) with my other 2TB, then let it sync? or do i *HAVE* to transfer everything to an external source, and "start from scratch"?
thank you
