Hi there,
I have a Qnap TS-673A full with 8tb Ironwolf pros in raid5 and I've ran out of space.
I was going to buy a TL-D800c and start by populating it with 3 x Toshiba n300 16tb's in raid5 and add one drive at a time when I needed/could afford them until I filled it.
Ideally I'd like to populate my TS-673A with 16tb drives and have the 8tb ironwolfs in the TL-D800c. But don't have available storage to back it up before moving everything around.
Could I move my 6 x 8tb ironwolfs from my Nas and put them into the TL-D800c and the Nas still recognise them and their raid? As if so I could leave them there and populate the Nas with 16tbs. I know you could do this with two compatible Nas's, but cannot find any info on expansion units.
Many thanks
Yasha
