Hi all,
I'm still learning a lot about networking and wondering if I've made a basic error? I've set up my Synology 920+ initially with a 3TB disc in SHR format, as I understood that was the most flexible. Today I've added another 4TB. When I use the raid calculator: RAID Calculator | Synology Inc. it shows as 3TB usable, 3TB for protection and 1TB used. This is not how I wanted it set up at all, since all of my data is backed up elsewhere and I don't need anything backed up. I want to use the full 7tb space. The NAS is currently running it's parity consistency check which will take about 8 hours. Am I going to have to wipe everything and use a RAID0 config, which looking at the RAID calculator will work as I want it to? Or is there a way to expand the 3TB and 4TB configuration to have it use the full 7TB space in SHR?
Thanks in advance
