Hi,

 

I've got a pegasus 2 R6 with 2tb drives.  It's configured as RAID 5 (1 disc can fail.)  Can I pull a 2tb drive and insert a 4tb drive to increase capacity?  I assume that I'd have to let the unit recover after each drive is replaced before I replaced a second 2tb drive.

 

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

You cannot replace one drive a time and rebuild the RAID to achieve higher capactity. You have to backup the data and replace all the drives at once.

Kindly refer the below link for more details.
