TeraStation 5800D - Moving to Larger Drives?
« on: November 10, 2020, 02:06:48 PM »
I have a TS5800D with 8x3TB that's almost full.  My idea is to buy 4x16tb Exos drives (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07SPFPKF4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AECIPMEQNVKO2&psc=1) and then add more to the pool as I need more storage.  I'm a little worried that it might not work and a little unsure if you can add drives to the pool after creating a RAID.  Right now I'm in RAID 6 (with 2 drives of redundancy).

Any thoughts on this?  Sorry if any of my terminology is wrong.  I'm not very deep in the learning curve about NAS.

I had posted this in another post, but the topic was slightly different and I didn't get any replies.  I'm just looking for some thoughts on whether it will work and if I can add drives to the raid configuration after it has been initially set up and data loaded.
