Upgrading Drives in PR4100

[TLB]

This is all new to me so I’m sure I’m doing something wrong. Right now I have a 4 bay with 2 TB each, but I want to slowly upgrade to 6 TB each. I have the PR4100 set to spanning because I like one giant folder, how would I upgrade the bays and and does the HD HAVE to be WD or can I mix and match for best prices?

Check out the threads below, I suspect you are in for a rough time with how you set up your NAS.

Upgrade Disks on My Cloud EX2

OK, so I want to replace my 3 TB x 2 raid 1 pair with 6 TB x 2 raid 1 pair. Could I: pull one of the existing 3 TB drives, reformat it for windows and then copy the data from the other 3 TB drive to the windows 3 TB drive. install the two 6 TB drives, build a raid 1 array. copy the data back from the “windows” drive to the Mycloud EX2. ??? Other option, can I read a single volume of the 3TB raid 1 array on a Linux boot?

Swapping smaller hard drive for larger one in EX4

Yes, the Browser GUI - I would have assumed an option to add or remove volumes to the Spanning set, but I’ve got no way of seeing it (I’m Raid’ed). If there isn’t an option, that is a sorely needed feature.
