Hi guys
I have a Synology 413j NAS.
Back when i bought the NAS i fitted it with 2x 3TB WD Red disks. I created a Raid 0 on these disks and was happy.
Now the day has come when i ran out of space and decided to upgrade - I purchased another 3tb WD Red disk and thought everything was fine.
That turned out to be not quite true - I cant seem to find any way to expand my Raid 0 disk unit with the new harddisk. I can add the disk on the side as a new disk unit but then i would have to allocate which folders are located on that disk and i would really like all the storage to be shared on all my disks.
As far as i can see my only option is to somehow backup my 6TB of data somewhere else and create a new raid and then copy back my data. Is this really true? Is there no way i can add the new disk to the current raid0 without having to move 6TB of data arround?
Hope u guys can help me out here xD
