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

Has the new disk been inserted into the NAS?

Can you see it in "Storage Manager" > "Hard Drive" ?

Hi again Gremlin, thanks.
Yes, it is, and shows as Good and at the correct size The two drives are identical and showing as such.

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>

I wondered if it might be those, because second from the left and the right hand button are both greyed out.

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.)

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!

Not really sure why it would do that without user input, but OK.

It was definitely user input.

Have I done something wrong? Is it not OK to have two volumes, one single disk and one TRAID?
