Hi,
I’m about to buy the DS 220+ with 2x4TB WD disks… I’m planning to use them on a RAID1 configuration. My questions are;
1- Should a disk fail in the future, would I be able to replace that disk with a higher capacity one whilst still retaining all the data ?
I know that in raid 1 the array is only as big as the smallest disk but I would be doing so in order to upgrade both disks to a higher capacity, should I need to do so.
2 - On the same scenario as question 1, could I take out both disks, replace them with 2 higher capacity ones, then just copy all the data from the health one onto to new pair ?
Thank you for your time in reviewing my query.
Best regards,
Jeandre Grixti
