Hi team,
First post, please advise if I've posted this to the wrong group, messed up any etiquette etc.
My DS-1817+ has mixture of drive sizes setup in SHR-1. The largest drive is 4TB, there is only one. The next smaller drives are two 3TB. The rest a mixture of 2 and 1.5TB drives.
I believe this means 1TB of the 4TB HDD is not being used by SHR-1 as there isn't another drive with 4TB or more in the NAS.
Does this mean I can pull the 4TB drive and replace it with a 3TB drive? Or will the synlogy require a 4TB or larger drive despite it only using 3TB for SHR?
I've had a 4TB fail another NAS and I'd like to use this 4TB as I have spare 3TB drive on hand.
Many thanks,
Mark
