Manage Disk Configuration

You can use Dashboard to manage the configuration of the hard disks installed in your 
system.

Expand a Volume

Dashboard automatically manages volume expansion when you add a disk to your 
ReadyNAS storage system. This expansion happens in the background while you continue to 
use your ReadyNAS system. The volume expansion process can take several hours. If you 
set up email notifications for your system, you receive an email message when the expansion 
process finishes. For more information about alert notifications, see 

To expand your X-RAID2 volume, add a disk to your ReadyNAS storage system. The volume 
is expanded in the background while you continue to use your storage system. For more 
information about how to add a disk to your system, see the ReadyNAS Duo v2 and NV+ v2 
Hardware Manual.

If you are adding a second disk, the new disk is used for data protection. If you are adding a 
third or fourth disk, the new disk is used for additional storage capacity. For more information, 
see 

To expand your Flex-RAID volume or volumes, add a disk to your ReadyNAS storage 
system. For more information about how to add a disk to your system, see the ReadyNAS 
Duo v2 and NV+ v2 Hardware Manual.

The volume is expanded in the background while you continue to use your storage system. 
The following table describes how the ReadyNAS storage system handles expansion.

RAID 0

Any

Any

Another RAID 0 volume is created for each new disk.

RAID 1

2

1

Another RAID 1 volume is created made up of the new 

disk. This volume has no data protection because RAID 
1 requires two disks per volume to offer data protection.

2

2

Another RAID 1 volume is created. 

3

1

The new disk is added to existing second volume; that 
volume changes from an unmirrored state (because it 
had only one disk) to a mirrored state. This means that 
the fourth disk is used for data protection, not storage 
capacity.
