QNAP NAS Setup Guide (2024) - Enquiries - 03-04-2025
In your 2024 QNAP setup guide part 1 you say that you would be doing a later part covering adding additional hard drives to the NAS.
Did you ever do that and if so which part as I've been unable to find it?
Many thanks and thank you for all the very helpful videos that you've put out there

Thanks for watching the videos! I really appreciate the support.
You're right—I mentioned covering how to add additional hard drives to a QNAP NAS in a later part. That video is either in the works or might not have been published yet. However, if you need help adding drives, here’s a quick rundown:
Go to QTS/QuTS Hero → Storage & Snapshots → Storage Pool
Select your existing RAID group → Click Manage → Expand RAID Group
Insert the new drives and follow the prompts to expand the storage pool.
If adding drives without expanding RAID, you can create a separate storage pool instead.
