Hello,
Following up on a previous communication when you gave great advice on how to switch from no raid to raid on my existing server.
Wondering if you can help with the sequence of my specific setup to make sure I don’t blow away any of my existing data. My server is a 2 bay Qnap TS-251-D
Current Setup:
- no Raid
- Bay 1 - 4GB Hard drive
- Bay 2 - 6GB Hard drive
- there is independent data on each drive
Proposed Setup
- Raid
- Bay 1 : 10GB Hard Drive
- Bay 2: 1 TB SSD
Where I’m getting stuck is how do I essentially consolidate by 4GB and 6GB hard drives into 1 10GB hard drive while creating a RAID configuration and not lose any of my data?
Really appreciate your thoughts, thank you so much!!
