That's relatively easily solved – I can just move data from my old 4TB drive onto the new 5TB one, and then set up the NAS first of all with the new empty 4TB drive, and then move all the data back onto it. If I'm using SHR, I need to start with the smallest drive first, because it seems as though you can't add smaller drives to an SHR array.However, having read the documentation, I see two problems with that: When this is complete, I had planned to put this now empty existing drive into the NAS, and repeat the process, until all the drives are moved across. My plan was to initially set up the NAS with the new 5TB drive, and then move the data from one of my existing drives onto the NAS. If I've calculated correctly, those 5 drives (1x4TB, 5x5TB) should give me 19TB under SHR, or 14TB under SHR2. In order to help me make the migration, and provide room for growth, I have purchased an additional 5TB drive. My existing drives are one 4TB and three 5TB drives, that together contain about 11.4 TB data (see chart below). I also want to move those local drives INTO the NAS (I can't afford to buy new drives). So, I need to move the data from my local PC to the NAS, but there's a catch. I currently have a bunch of local hard drives, and I've finally saved up enough money to buy a NAS (a DS1019+).
