Buon pomeriggio. Possiedo un nas serie 542. Ho costruito la struttura di raid 5 con 4 hd identici da 2 tb. Adesso il nas mi dice che un hd da 2tb è compromesso. Volevo sostituire il 2tb in uno da 4tb, visto che la differenza di prezzo è di pochi euro maggiore. Chiedo se si può effettuare la sostituzione e se qualcuno sa come si comporta il nas.

    There is no way to add a volume into the disk group which created to a volume already.
    To add the disk into new disk group need to backup the data firstly, and then delete the volume and create a new disk group volume.

    Grazie.
    Eseguendo la procedura che mi consigli (fare il backup e creare nuovamente un raid5), poi posso inserire un HD di dimensioni diverse ampliando lo spazio? cioè 2tb + 2tb + 2tb + 4tb?

    Not recommend to do this, this does not expand the size of your volume when you're using raid 5.
    It will choose the smallest size of your disk as your maximum size since you're using Raid 5.
    If you would like to expand your volume size, You have to change to 4tb +4tb +4tb+4tb.
