Hi All,
I have an N4100+ that is currently configured with 4 x 500Gb Hard Drives in a RAID 5 array. This is working very well and doing exactly what I need it to do. The only problem is its getting close to being full. What I would like to do is upgrade it to 4 x 1Tb drives. My question is can i just pull one of the 500gb drives out and replace it with a 1Tb drive, let the NAS rebuild the array onto the new drive and then swap out the second, third and fouth drives in the same way?
Thanks
Ross
Nobody got any ideas???
Dear Sir,
Such operation only update the HDD hardward, but RAID volume won't be increased, only N5200/N5200PRO/1U4500 support this RAID Expansion function:

Thanks for the reply Yvon,
So to upgrade the size of my array I'm going to have to copy all the data off the NAS first, pull all the drives, put in the new ones, build the array and then copy all the data back onto it?
Any other ideas????

Daer Sir,
We need bakcup data on other storage, and than replace new/bigger HDD to create new RAID volume, after RAID create completed, just copy data back to N4100+.
