I am fairly new to NAS configuration and F5-422 is my first TerraMaster product. Therefore, I apologize if my question may seem naive. I have successfully created a new storage pool with two 14TB drive (TRAID). Now I want to add two 4TB drives that I have lying around to the same storage pool. I can see that all four drives are listed and are ok.

I am following instructions listed here on how to expand the storage space of TRAID: https://www.terra-master.com/global/traid
Nevertheless, when I try and go to Control Panel > Storage Management > Storage Pool > Edit I am unable to do so, as the Edit button is grayed out.

How can I add my two 4TB drives to the TRAID storage pool?

The newly added drive size can not be smaller than the smallest drive in the previous raid.

Another quick question. I have created a strage pool with two 4TB drives. Can I add a 14TB drive and, after that, a drive that is (let's say) 10TB?

Thank you for your assistance.

Sure. The newly added hard disk only needs to be larger than the smallest hard disk in the RAID.
