Good afternoon all,
First-ever post here so please be gentle.
I currently own a Synology DS920+ (DSM 7.0-41890) which is for personal use, it was running 2x 3TB WD RED drives however due to storage running a little low I decided to buy a further 2x 3TB Seagate IronWolf drives to expand my storage which I figured I could do with absolute ease. Upon entering the drives and turning the NAS back on I'm greeted with the below message:
I'm unsure on how to proceed as whilst I'm pretty savvy with most tech things, RAID's and configuring new drives scare me . I've closed this and gone to the storage pool which shows this information:
It mentions that my pool is raid 1.
My question is how do I proceed from here? All I'm wanting to do if possible is expand the storage of the NAS, however I've tried to do a bit of digging on trusty old Google and the is mention of changing the RAID type from 1 to 5 and vice versa, any help anyone can provide would be more than appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
Dark
