TerraMaster F2-210 adding second hard drive

Hi Guys,
After 2 weeks of using the above have realized a single drive does not provide the reliability and backup I need, therefore have bought second identical Seagate 4TB Iron Wolf drive. What should I be aware of when I install it and configure it? I want a RAID 1 configuration. Will I lose my existing music files on the first drive that I have already uploaded? I'm using my TerraMaster F2-210 as a NAS for my music library in connection with SONOS. Thanks guys for any help you can give me as I'm a tad new to the game!

I haven’t got around to putting a second one in mine yet but have a daily usb back up

I believe you can just put the hard drive in the second bay and then go through the admin and upgrade it to a raid array

It should keep all your data so shouldn’t have any problems

Thanks for your advice guys. I did the deed this morning and everything seems to be going well so far! After 4 and a half hours it is still 54.3% rebuilding. Send you an update when it's done.
