EXPAND DISK CAPACITY
RAID 1 configurations allow you to expand the capacity of your LaCie 2big NAS without losing data. Please note
that RAID 1 configurations optimize storage with two hard drives of the same capactiy.
Example: A RAID 1 array with data is comprised of two 1TB hard drives. The administrator wants to upgrade
both hard drives to 3TB. To begin, the adminstrator removes the 1TB hard drive from Drive Tray 2. There is no
need to power off the 2big NAS since RAID 1 supports hot-swapping. Per the instructions in
administrator removes the 1TB hard drive from the disk tray and screws in the new 3TB hard drive. Once the
the disk tray with the new 3TB hard drive is reinserted into the 2big NAS chassis, the administrator
synchroonizes the RAID 1 array. The process is repeated for the second hard disk.
Note on RAID 0 arrays: If you are updating a RAID 0 array, please follow the steps in
Disk Insertion.
1. LaCie recommends backing up all data before continuing with the next steps.
2. Go to Dashboard > RAID. Per the example above, the screenshot shows a RAID 1 array with two 1TB hard
drives.
