I have two 4TB drives in my DS216J NAS. I am not using RAID. These drives are pooled as Volume1, so I have about 7.25 TB available. Naturally, all of this data is backed up. I want to add more space.
1) Can I just replace one of the drives with an 8TB (and restore the data), or will this mess up the pool?
2) Can I put TWO 8TB hard drives in it? That would be the path of least resistance, but can the unit support it? I don't want to wait until I buy them and I try it to find out there is a limit.
3) Am I going about this the wrong way?
Adding an external hard drive is out of the question, because the system will not encrypt a "usbshare".
Thanks much! I appreciate help here.
