Hi,
I understand that upgrading drives on Terastation is not supported by Buffalo Tech, however our unit is out of warranty.
I have inserted 1 TB drive into bay one, and restructed the drive. Done this in sequence for the remaining drives with no problems (bays 1 - 4).
I have seen a post of this site advising that I need to delete Raid Array for the terastation to pickup the new drives capicity.
If I delete the Raid Array, will we lost our data & shared folders?
Thanks
Yes you will if you delete the array and go to rebuild it
Is there any other way to avoid deleting data, for the terastation to pick up the new disk capicity?
Outside out actually backing up the data there is no other way
Hi
I have restructured 3 of the 4 new drives sucessfully. However when I plug in the 4th new drive and boot up the system prompts;
" HD ALL E07 All HD Not Found "
If i put the original drive 4 back in and boot up all is ok.
The new drive has been formatted in NTFS FULL FORMAT.
Please help
The drive should be in a raw format when inserting it into the chassis, the NTFS confuses the boot sequence
thanks for the reply... how can i get the drive into RAW mode?
Attach the drive to a Windows machine and delete the volume
Hi
I done as you advised, and deleted the volume, and the terastation still displaying " HD ALL E07 All HD Not Found " when inserted into bay 4.
I returned the drive back to WD and they sent a new drive, same as the others. I plugged in that new drive straight from the sealed antistatic pack, and it is still displaying " HD ALL E07 All HD Not Found "
PLease help..
Thanks
any ideas?
could be that this unit was never designed for 4TB of storage, only a max of 1.6 TB.
Ok managed to get the terastation to pickup the 4th drive; removing the 1.0TB drive from bay 3 into bay 4. And put the last 1.0TB drive into bay 3. Terastation picked up all drives now, thanks
I have something along the same question, but I want to have the additional drive space as a seperate volume. Is this possible?
I have read something in the past about doing a resizing of the existing volume definiation using Linux level commands. Perhaps someone on this site would know of what I am talking about.
what is your question exactly? What unit do you have and capacity are you trying to use?
