I'm planning on trying FreeNas with an old T620. I have 6 2TB drives to use for storage.
What's the best way to plan for drive upgrades in the future? I'm sure I'll fill up the 6 drives at some point and would slowly replace them with bigger drives.
Is there even a way to do that?
I understand the pools & how they work, I'm just not sure about something like this where I'd be starting off with no extra storage slots.
Would I be better off leaving 2 bays empty for now. Then in the future add 2 8TB drives and pull out some of the 2TB & replace those with 8TB. Essentially having 3 pairs of mirrored drives added to the pool.
Thanks for the help
