Hi from the UK

Post by Shenga »

Hi

Just a quick Hello, I'm Shane from the UK, just bought a AS6510T to upgrade my ancient Netgear EX4100 & EX2.
Mainly using it as storage for Photo's, Music, Doc's etc but also as a Plex Server, surprisingly the NG EX4100 seem to cope ok, but definitely time for an upgrade.

Very happy with it and now starting to transfer files from the old to the new.

I've populated it with 5 x WD Red 6Tb in RAID 5, but may go to RAID 6 but hope to add some more 6Tb Drives soon.

Quick Q,
Somehow I messed up adding a drive and had to reset the system and start again, god knows how or what I did wrong, anyway, what the best and safest way to add another 6Tb Drive to my system?

Many thanks

Hi Shane and welcome aboard. I'm also in the UK, somewhere between Stonehenge and Avebury.

The Asustor College is full of useful articles and https://www.asustor.com/en/online/Colle ... ?topic=352 should help you migrate from RAID 5 to RAID 6.
