Hello,
I am considering purchase of the DS218+ but funds are limited during this time and I am wanting to confirm a few things. I am intending to purchase the NAS and a single 8TB drive. My questions are these....
1) I am assuming I can in fact configure and use the NAS with only a single drive installed. Am I correct?
2) Can I later add another of the 8TB drives and set it up to mirror the first drive? Can I do this without wiping the original drive? I ask this because I cant really pour the extra money in to the second drive but in a few months would like to add another and have it set up to mirror the original drive. I am wanting to confirm this is possible without having to wipe/lose data on the first drive when I add the second.
Thank you for your time and feedback
