Expanding RAID Capacity without Deleting Data

You can create or expand a RAID array without erasing data on the drive by using RMM (RAID Mode Manager).
If using a TeraStation model whose drives are not fully installed into the slots, such as the two-drives included
TS3410DN series, follow the procedure to add a new drive first. Otherwise, refer to the procedures in this section to
configure the RAID array.
