This may seem like a stupid question, but I genuinely can't figure it out

I just bought and installed a new HDD as my current HDD is getting full

But I can't for the life of me figure out how to add the HDD in TOS

I can set it up as a new storage pool and volume, but when I try to edit my current storage pool or volume to have it add the second HDD it does not give any option for that

my previous HDD was a 6TB one and my new one is a 14TB one

I do not want to RAID or anything like that. I want to combine the two of them so I have a useable total of 20TB

I dont NEED to set up the new HDD as an extension to the volume/storage pool, but even still when I then set up the new HDD as a new storage pool/volume I can't figure out how to actually access the new volume or storage pool to add files to it, or folders, etc. TOS is "locked" into Volume 1 and I can't figure out a way to get out of it

Any help is most appreciated

If you currently create single-disk mode with one hard drive, adding new hard drives to single-disk mode is not supported.
You can create a new storage pool and volume with the new hard disk, and then create shared folders on the volume to store data.

How do I do that, as mentioned before. i can not get file explorer to get into Volume 2 to create any folders or move any files

In trying to figure this out I also Accidentally set up RAID on the drives, is there a way to remove RAID without deleting the volume/pool entirely and losing all my Data?

Please go to Control Panel - Shared Folder to create a shared folder belonging to volume 2.

You can only backup data first.
