Building a RAID storage space may take time, dep
hard drives and RAID mode. 

 

ending on the size of 

 

 

Creating RAID destroys all data in the current RAID

 

 volume. The data is 

unrecoverable. 

 
 

With a RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 volume, you can also add a spare 
disk after the RAID is created. See Chapter 7: Tips and Tricks > 

 for details. 

 

To expand a RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 volume, follow the steps below: 
 

1.  Replace one of the hard drives in the RAID volume and allow it to 

automatically rebuild. 

 

2.  Once rebuilt, you can continue to replace any remaining disks in the RAID 

array.  

 

3.  When you are done replacing hard drives, log on to Web Management. 

Navigate to Storage > RAID to open the RAID List screen.  

 

4.  On the RAID List screen, select the RAID volume by clicking on its radio 

button, and click RAID Config to open the RAID Configuration screen. 

 

5.  On the RAID Configuration screen, click Expand. 

 

Once a RAID volume has been created, you 
may want to move it to other physical drives 

or change the RAID array all together. To 
migrate a RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 5 

volume, follow the steps below: 
 

1.  From the RAID Configuration screen, 

click Migrate RAID. 

 
2.  A list of possible RAID migration 

configurations will be listed. Select 

the desired migration scheme and 
click OK. 

 

3.  The system will begin migrating the RAID volume. 

 

Migrating a RAID volume could take several hours to complete
