Hi there jmverreault,

 

Thanks for your input. Although it is possible to install a bigger HDD in the enclosure (without the availability of the additioinal storage space), I find it interesting that you were able to swap the bigger HDD with a small HDD without any issues. In this particular case, it appears that the OS fixed everyting itself.

 

Having said that, it appears that the OS does not take well to expansion and the storage remain fixed to the initial RAID drive capacity…which happens to be 2TB in my case.

 

I am still looking for a solution to my unique problem. I want to go from 2*2TB to 2 * 6TB. Thanks.

 

Regards.

Have you personally tried this? I currently am running a 6TB MBLD and was looking to double the capacity by purchasing (2) 6TB drives. I’m guessing it’s impossible for me to pull this off?
