NAS 540 Raid 1 upgrade to...... raid 10 possible?

Skywatch

Hi,

I currently have 2x6Tb drives in a NAS540 in a raid 1 configuration. They are now >90% full and that is after deleting a lot of stuff to get access as it was *really* full before now!

I would like to add 2 more HDDs and make it a raid 10 - How can I do this? Is it possible and is there a better option for a media storage unit, like maybe raid 6?

It is only used for home use, so very few simultaneous users.

Thank you.

Hi @Skywatch

It seems RAID 10 should be use at starting up to create the volume and no possible to expand by RAID 1.
Here is the information from user manual for RAID type expand on page 43 and 44.
