Adding a Hard Drive

Step 3. Choose the hard drive you wish to add to the RAID array and click Add Hard Drive.

Note: All data on the selected drive will be deleted during this process. This process may take as little as a few hours or more than 24 hours to complete depending on the number and size of the drives being replaced. Please wait patiently for the process to finish. Do not turn off power to the NAS during this process.
Step 5. After drive expansion, the number of drives in the configuration and the total capacity will reflect the changes. You can start to use the larger capacity.
