Leonhard Posted December 10, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2019 Hello, I run DS3615xs 6.1 Jun's Mod V1.02-alpha on a HP GEN8 Microserver running on AHCI. Atm i have a 2TB HDD with some data on it -with no important data, juste makeing some test- as a single volume and want to add a 2nd 2TB HDD in RAID 1 to store important data. Also i`d like to add a 3TB HDD as single volume for basic storage, movies, music etc. Do i need to turn off the DSM before adding the drives sice the Hp gen8 cant use hot plug? Can i build a RAID 1 config with 1 empty drive and 1 drive with data without losing data? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
