I have a DS918+ and a DX517. I have one SHR volume on 4 x 8tb in the DS918+ and 3 x 8tb in the DX517 (so 2 slots left empty in the DX517). I want to put 16tb in the DS918+ and was wondering what is the best way to do it since I have 2 slots left in the DX517. Should I create a hot spare by inserting 1 x 8tb in the DX517 and once that's done, removing 1 x 8tb in the DS918+ and replacing it with a 1 x 16tb? Or should I just Hot swap those things?
My goal here is to eventually have 1 volume on the Ds918+ (with 4x 16tb) and 1 volume on the DX517 (8tb drives) as I often hear that it's not a great idea to have one volume over both device in case the cable fails. Whats your take on it? What is the most secure way of doing this? Considering that most of the data is already backed up on another device.
