Hi there,
so I want to "expand" my storage or better said, add two drives to my existing NAS-setup. I currently have 4x500GB HDD + 40GB SSD in a RaidZ2 Volume.
I want to add two drives, and run them mirrored, so if possible as a seperate Volume, not adding to the above mentioned pool.
First, I want to know wether this is possible. I did some reasearch and I haven't found anything that says it isnt but I just want to make sure it works.
Second, I have a question concerning the current storage. The Mainboard Im using has 8 Sata6GB/s Ports, but 2 of them are controlled by the ASMedia Storage Controller. I dont have any drives connected to it currently, but i will have to connect drives to it. Will there be problems concerning the Storage Controller ?
Third, I want to move two drives connected to the AMD SB950 controller to the ASMedia Storage controller. Can i just plug the drives into different ports without problems ? I dont want to lose data or destroy my current ZFS RaidZ2 setup.
Thank you for helping :)
