When expanding storage capacity with this method, please carefully replace each hard drive one-by-one. After replacing one hard drive, the storage pool must be repaired before the next hard drive is replaced. For more detailed instructions, please see DSM Help. Please see the following table ...
If this is your first NAS, choose SHR1 for single-drive redundancy or SHR2 for two-drive redundancy. This means, how many drives can fail without losing any of your data. Normally people choose SHR1 which allows you to access all your data even if one drive gets broken. Select all dri...
