Hey all.
I have search Google and yes there is a lot of different opinions out there so not to do anything wrong here i will try ask here also.
I have a good working TS-559 Pro II running RAID5 fine with 5 x 3TB disc's but 2 of the drives is standard consumer drives and i now have 2 more Red disc i would like to change in the system.
How do i do this the most easy but also safe way
Can i just pull out one of the disc and put in a new one wile NAS is still running or do i need to shut down and change one disc at a time ?
TS-559 Pro II RAID 5 latest firmware 4.2.6 (Sad no newer FW) but thats life i'm only using my NAS for file sharing and its doing alright but as i said i'm afraid the standard 2 disc will die on me
so now when i have to better WD Red disc i think i should swop them.
Forgot to say. All disc in the NAS now is all 3TB drives but the two new ones are both 5TB disc. They will still work together with the other 3TB disc right ?
Thx everyone.
