Is there a Raid setup In FreeNAS where you can start with lets say 4 disks and then later add HDD's later without having to back up the data?
Im not good with computer lingo so i give an example instead:
4 x 1TB HDD = one volume total size 4 TB (raid0)
use it a few weeks, where I put some musik and movie ect. on it
then I add another drive
5 x 1TB HDD = total size 5 TB(still raid0)
the media I put on the 4 disks still is in this new setup.
I plan on using raid 5 or somthing like it because i would like to have at least some redundancy.
BTW its a Home NAS with nothing vital on it so i don't want to lose more that one drive to redundancy.
** Edit **
Never mind from what i have read it should be possible.
