Currently 1tb in Raid 1
Do I just put in first new 2 tb disc and manage it from within DSM (4.2)or do I have to "prepare" the new disc first?
The prepare process looks longwinded and not what I thought would be required. Any help with this would be appreciated.
The Synology help page at http://www.synology.com/en-global/support/tutorials/560 (point 3) reads:
Replace hard disks for SHR, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 6:
- Turn off your DiskStation (skip this step if your DiskStation supports hot-swapping).
- Remove the outer casing from your DiskStation.
Important:
To avoid harming yourself or damaging your DiskStation, please follow the hard disk installation instructions found in the Quick Installation Guide for your Synology product. - Replace one of the old hard disks with a new one you have prepared.
- Turn on your DiskStation.
- Login to DSM with an account belonging to the administrators group.
Cheers for any advice.
