Hi,
Getting close to running out of capacity on my Asustor NAS, I decided to upgrade my 3× Ironwolf 10TB to 3× WD Red 22TB drives. I have swapped them all out and synchronised and now am at the stage of "Expand Capacity".
My question is, what is best; multiple volumes or one large single volume?
Current volume 18TB, 16TB used. I am aware that volume size can't be reduced once expanded. I am also not sure what happens when I click esxpand capacity, whether i get the option to chose volume size, or it is grabs everything remaining.
Advice would be appreciated.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
