Thanks in advance. I have a DS918+ with two 6TB drives in Raid1 configuration. I want to add two drives in the unused bays. Can I just add another pool and configure them as Raid1 also. I am thinking like they will be two completely different systems and thus be mapped as two different drive sets with a total of close to 16TB of storage..... Is it possible? Since I do not necessarily understand the terminology is what I am looking for adding a new "VOLUME"?
I am not an extremely newbie to computing but after much searching I could not find the answer. Logic tells me YES!
