Hi there, I have
FreeNas-11.2-U6
Running on this server (not VM)
Intel® Server System P4308CP4MHEN
Intel® Server Board S2600CP4
2x Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2670
Micron 32GB (4x 8GB) mt36kszf1g72pz-1g4d1dd
6x4TB Seagate NAS HDD ST4000VN000 4TB 64MB Cache in RAIDZ2
I need to expand the pool now, it's getting close to 90% capacity (I know that's not good)
I've googled it and usually get two stories
1# It's possible and safe to add one or more HDD's at a time.
2# It's only possible to add the same amount of driver and they must be the same type.
2.1# I have ST4000VN000 now but I can only buy ST4000VN008 now, is that ok?
But most of those results were "old" and I wasn't sure if the FreeNas had changed.
What are my options, and what would be recommended?
I'm new to this whole NAS thing btw.
