Hello, I've created a TRAID Storage Pool on a single 10TB HDD, and stored some data on there.
I want to add another blank 10TB to the Storage Pool.
All the instructions I read say to edit the Storage Pool and select "Add a Hard Disk to Array", but I can't find this option anywhere.
There are options for Sync Speed, Repair, to Delete the Storage Pool and Create New Storage Pool, but nothing about "Add a Hard Disk to Array"
What am I missing?

Sorry, I should add I'm using an F5-221 on TOS 5.1.2.4
Re: TRAID Storage Pool - Adding a new HDD
Has the new disk been inserted into the NAS?
Can you see it in "Storage Manager" > "Hard Drive" ?

In that case, go to Storage Manager > Storage Pool
Click on the Storage Pool 1
If you click on the down arrow (top right corner of highlighted Pool 1 block) you can see the make up of the Pool.
Above the highlighted Pool 1 block there are 5 buttons - {I THINK} click on <Edit> button, second from left, which should be available once the disk is recognised. {Otherwise it might be available on right hand button <more>}
<Create> <Edit> <Delete> <Settings> <More>

Re: TRAID Storage Pool - Adding a new HDD
I wondered if it might be those, because second from the left and the right hand button are both greyed out.
Re: TRAID Storage Pool - Adding a new HDD
Just a thought - have you checked make up of Pool 1? Maybe it was added automatically. (I can't actually remember what happened as I started with 3 disks.)

Re: TRAID Storage Pool - Adding a new HDD
I definitely added it manually.
This is actually Storage Pool 2, as Storage Pool 1 has its own 1TB HDD and set as a single disk.
Storage Pool 2, the one I want to expand says: Which all looks good AFAIK!

Re: TRAID Storage Pool - Adding a new HDD
Not really sure why it would do that without user input, but OK.

Re: TRAID Storage Pool - Adding a new HDD
It was definitely user input.
Have I done something wrong? Is it not OK to have two volumes, one single disk and one TRAID?
