xds40 0 · ID: 1 Posted January 6, 2015 When I initially setup my NAS with Xpenology, I used ally favorite 32gb USB drive. Now I have realized the drive kinda needs to be there permanently so should I just copy the image over to a smaller drive that I have? Is it that easy or are there more steps involved? I searched this forum and couldn't find an answer really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koolvn 0 · ID: 5 Posted January 9, 2015 USB only uses for boot so the bigger size the bigger waste. My USB is only 64MB as posted here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3608#p21719 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
