Hi All,
FreeNAS beginner and first post in the forum.
Currently running version 9.2.1 (I think) on a HP N54L microserver. OS is installed on a 250Gb HDD and I have two WD Red's (2x3Tb) in RAID 1 using the FreeNAS software. I recently started talking to a friend about swapping and adding drives etc to his QNAP device but wondered what is available in FreeNAS:
1. If I wanted to add another WDD 3Tb drive to my existing RAID 1 setup could I do this without jeopardising the current volume?
2. In the event one of my drives fails, is it possible to add another drive an copy everything from one to set up a new RAID 1? Or would I have to copy all the data off the remaining drive onto a new RAID 1 set up? Is there another way of doing it...?
Apologies if these questions have already been asked but I did look to see if a post existed and couldnt find any thing.
Regards,
Will
