Thing is that I built this system in an old gifted computer with a motherboard that only supports 4 drives as far as I know (one of which is the boot drive is on a SSD), so I created a pool with just 2 drives, I did consider maybe plugging one 8tb drive in as a third and then copy the files or something, but should I do this manually? I don't really know how I should go about this, do I create a new pool then? wouldn't that erase my data on my previous pool? some people said to just plug out one of the 2tb drives and replace it and let it rebuild but will that resize to the larger capacity? also I wouldn't want take this risk without knowing for sure it will work 😅 In the Docs I read something about 'Expanding Drives' but my pool says this is not supported since I only have 2 drives and not 3... 😞 What do you suggest I should do? thanks for the replies so far, I really appreciate the help 🙂 (P.S. also read somewhere on the forum that it would be possible to solve with the TrueNAS UI backend but I wouldn't even know where to begin really)

Hi I'm quite new to this and I consider doing the very same thing with my Raid1 setup consisting of 2x 2TB drives swapping to 8TB ones, but since I'm quite new to this and this HexOS system is my first NAS experience, I'm hesitant to just pull them out one by one and try for the best, I would like get some reinsurance that I'm not about to loose my precious data, can somebody help me find out what are the proper steps of doing this or at least point me in the right direction? I do know how to get to the TrueNAS UI... but that's pretty much it when it comes to that 😛
