I just built my FreeNAS with a single WD Blue 2TB Hard drive due to limited budget. This was my first NAS and wanted to make sure I was comfortable with the system before dumping a lot of money into it. I later planned to add more storage and redundancy. I have browsed around and haven't been able to find many people with 1 HD builds and questions of them upgrading. I would plan on adding another 2 TB drive that would be striped and give me a 4TB total space. I assume all that would need to be done is then go into the Volume Manager to extend the current volume and select the new disk I installed (granted it shows up as an option to select) and choose the total size of the new volume. Am I missing anything? Do I need to backup my data to copy it back to the newly created volume?
Thanks in advance
