So on Sat, I came home to my NAS screaming and blinking, telling me that three of the four HD's were in degrade mode... Well, with no options, I just shut the unit down and restarted. It has been running for two days, no problem... Anyway, I want to start replacing the drives, just in case. I also want to replace with larger hard drives. (Just so you know, my warranty is already expired) My understaning is that I can just shut it down, replace one drive and let the unit rebuild the RAID 5 array? Then I do this 3x more. However, how do I go about getting the server to recognize the larger drives, without losing all my data?
Thank you
