Changing Drive Location
Posted: 26 Jan 2022, 21:21
Hi
I have an F5 221 set up with 2x10TB drives, when I first set these up I set them in drives bays 1 and 3, to ensure there was space for air between the two. I have these in a RAID 1 configuration. I would like to change the bays to 1 and 5 so that there is maximum air between the drives. I cannot see a way to do this and retain my data.
I am not the most technical person so step by step would be helpful. My drives are getting full so I would like to add a further 2 drives at some point and ideally, these would go into bays 2 and 4 leaving 3 to allow for cooling.
I am sure there is a really easy way to do this, I am just unable to figure out how.
