+--- Thread: Degraded Storage Pool 1 (/showthread.php?tid=8812)
Degraded Storage Pool 1 - Enquiries - 03-12-2023
I have had a Synology for years: DS214 play.
There are a few issues and I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help would be great!
I am gettting a message that my Storage Pool 1 is degraded.
When I went into Storage Manager on the HDD/SDD tab I'm told that Drive 1 and Drive 2 are both "Healthy".
On the Volume tab, I am told Volume 1 is "degraded". And I only have one volume.
On the Oveview tab, it originally told me I had, 2 drives - but one of them was "not initiated".
I have since tried to follow instructions to initiate drive 2. I have done this BUT I notice Drive 1 has RAID 1 and Drive 2 has BASIC RAID type. Not sure what this means.
I want to have Drive 2 setup as mirror of Drive 1.
But Drive 1 has degraded Storage Pool.
Drive 2 looks healthy, but has 557 bad sectors.
Do I need to setup a volume on Drive 2/ Storage Pool 2. How?
Do I need to replace both drives due to being degraded/ bad sectors?
How do I mirror Drive 1 to Drive 2?
Any help would be great? Thanks

Basic mode means that you have no raid. Each drive has its own volume.
You should be able to convert the RAID https://kb.synology.com/en-au/DSM/help/DSM/StorageManager/storage_pool_change_raid_type?version=7
I would first recommend backing up all data you have.
