Sweeney669 Posted May 9 Share #1 Posted May 9 Hey guys, Running DSM 6.0.2 My raid group 1 is set to be Raid 5 and when I created it set the max drive number in raid to be 6 because I probably thought I’d never need more storage than that. The raid pool currently has 6 WD Red Plus 10TB drives. I just bought 5 more drives (WD Red Plus 10TB) and ideally want to expand my raid 5 group so I don’t lose 9TB’s by having two different raid 5 pools. Is it possible to change this setting? If not can I make a new raid pool with a max of 12 or 24 drives and bring the drives from raid group 1 in without losing any of my data?

You would have to create a new RAID with the new disks and copy the data from old RAID to it.
