I started out with one 4TB drive in my DS414J and recently had been close to running out of space, so I purchased another drive of the same size with the intent of installing it in the NAS to expand the available capacity from 4TB to 8TB.
When setting up the new drive in Diskstation I chose the "expand storage pool" option, but it ended up installing my new drive as redundant with the Synology hybrid setup and my capacity has stayed the same at 4TB. I don't see a way in the options to wipe the new drive clean and start over. Is it even possible to have two 4TB drives installed without having some sort of redundant system in place? Will I need to install a third drive to be able to actually expand my overall capacity?
Thanks
