Hello. I currently have a 2x2TB volume and a 2x4TB volume. both in Raid 1. so 2TB and 4TB usable, respectively.
I have run out of space, and as i now have a good off-site backup solution, i’m not as concerned about a drive failure and don’t need to keep raid 1.
My first question: Can i change my Raid from Raid 1 to something else without losing data? Effectively doubling my capacity for each volume? also not sure which Raid i’d switch to. 0-(Striped)?
If not, what’s my best course of action? Full wipe and re-create two new volumes (4TB and 8TB), then re-load all my data off backups?
If so, Would it be better to do a single Volume with all the drives, or keep two volumes containing 2x Matching Drives? I’ve been using two volumes one as Media Storage, and one for File Storage.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
