TS1200D0202 Hard Drive Upgrade
« on: March 26, 2022, 12:46:16 PM »
I was under the impression that I could update the drives from the initial 1TB drives to something larger. I have attempted to add both 2TB WD20EFRX drives and 4TB ST4000NE025 drives and both instances report cannot find partition when using the tsupdater utility and and editing the ini file accordingly. Is there something in the firmware or hardware of these drives that will not allow them to be added?

Follow these steps:

1. Install the original drives
2. delete the RAID array
3. Replace 1 of the drives with the larger drive
4. Format the new drive
5. Replace the other original drive
6. Format that drive
7. Create a new RAID array
