Storage volume - replacing drives - size limit - Enquiries - 12-16-2022
I have a DS1817+ with 8x 10tb drives in raid 6 setup. Getting low on space and want to replace drives with bigger option. I know I need to replace all 8 to get any improvement, but curious if I use 18tb does the 108tb limit apply to the 'raw' (8x18) or after raid applied (6x18)? I can't find any good answers anywhere

The limit applies to the volume. So if you use bigger drives, you could create two separate volumes. And this would work. Sometimes you also need more RAM.
I hope this helps.
