I was running freenas on 4 1TB drives, but ran out of room right away, and with the motherboard only allowing 4 drives I ended up reading more on here and decided to go the server route. I ordered up all the crap for a new server, which supports 6 drives. I have another 1tb drive which I will throw on the server build.
My question is this. I would like to upgrade to 2tb drives eventually. My plan is to buy a 2tb drive and then swap out a 1tb drive, and eventually getting rid of all 1tb drives over time (as money permits). Once I have all 4-5 drives swapped out so every drive is 2tb, will freenas use the extra 1tb of space?
Can I keep the data stored on the pool and just have more hd space or will I have to remove all data and start fresh with the 2tb drives and copy my data back?
