Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to FreeNAS, especially when it comes to hardware.
I've been runninga FreeNAS server for some years, but now I want to add drives to allow for redundancy.
My setup is 2x Seagate 4TB hard drive in RAID0. I recently bought 2 WD Gold (awesome deal on Amazon...) 4TB each and I would like to add them as a backup to my first pool (8GB stripe). So basically, I would like to turn my RAID0 setup into RAID10.
Is it possible to do this without losing my data (I have a full backup however) or do I need to wipe everything and start from scratch?
If it's not possible, I would only want to swap the old drives with the new ones, can this easily be done (I see a replace disk option in the GUI)?
Thanks for your support!
