Qnap TVS-h1688X - Enquiries - 12-19-2024
Hey guys, I only just discovered your channel about a month ago and I love it. I have a question about QTS Hero storage pools and the add raid set to existing raid feature. MY TVS-h1688X currently has six 22TB Ironwolf Pro drives (Storage Pool 1, RAID 5, ZFS), later today I am adding six Seagate Exos 28TB drives (Storage Pool 2). Will I lose data if I create a new pool for the new drives, Raid 5, ZFS and combine that with the existing storage pool 1 RAID?
Thanks,
Jason
