Hello,
may I suggest the following
take one of your 2TB disk
connect it to a PC (XP) via a USB/SATA converter
remove all partition on it
disconnect from the PC
insert the first disk in the 1st slot of your WD Sharespace
power On the WD Sharespace
the LED for the 1st disk shoud appear solid green
then connect to the WD with a browser
survey the status of your disk on advanced mode > volume and raid management
in theory your disk should be added automatically in few minutes ( chkdsk / format …)
make the same thing for the disk # 2 / 3 / 4
don’t forget to power OFF the WD before inserting the new drive !!!
A the end you should have in your WD a complete Raid 0 8 To in line inside your WD
This operation has been done successfully 2 days ago with WD 2To drives (WD20EVDS) replacing the original 1To drives
( all data has been destroyed/lost !!! )
After that I transformed the raid 0 into a raid 5 ; cost 36 Hours …
