Hello Forum users and thanks in advance for any advice.
My DS214play holds 2 3Tb WD RED discks configured as 1 storage pool with Synology JBOD. It's used for file and media storage and playback. The storage is nearly full and I'm happy with the performance so don't otherwise need to upgrade the whole system. I'm therefore wondering if it's possible and - if so - what steps I would need to take, to upgrade 1 of the disks. Synology's Help Center has a lot on upgrading SHR/RAID configurations but seems quite light on JBOD setups. Could I, for example, get the file capacity down to, say, 2Tb using external drives and 'divorce' my 2 NAS drives, enabling 1 to be replaced with a higher capacity ? Thanks
