DS212J - HDD upgrade from 2TB to 4TB in raid 1

Postby hungtlam » Tue Apr 03, 2012 3:12 am

Hello everyone. I have a DS212J and setup raid 1 with two 2TB HD. I just bought two 4TB seagate HD and need to migrate the data over to the 4TB disks. What is the best way to transfer the data? I can pull one 2TB out and plugin the new 4TB and let mirror rebuild? Once the rebuild is completed then I can just put pull out the remainder 2TB drive and plug in the 4TB? Please advise. Thanks
