Expanding storage on RAID 1 D2-310
Posted: 22 Jun 2020, 22:28
I wanted to check the following in relation to usage of the D2-310.
I currently have 2x 2TB drives in a RAID 1 setup connected on USB to a Linux single board computer (odroid).
If I want to upgrade my storage capacity can I take out a 2TB drive and replace with a bigger one e.g. 4TB? Will the RAID rebuild on the 4TB?
If I then replace the remaining 2TB drive with another 4TB drive presumably that will then rebuild on to that too? Will the final RAID drive(s) end up with just a 2TB partition though?
Further questions...
Does the fresh drive get automatically formatted and the rebuild happen automatically? How do I know it's happening and when it's finished?
Is there any way of checking the health status of the drives in the enclosure?
Thank you.
