Leaving existing hdds and adding 2 more

[Arron1985]

Hi I'm new to all of this and just wondering if I could have some help. I have 3x 500gb set up in raid and been using them for plex and I have just got 2x 2tb hdds and was wondering if I could set them up on the same system but as a separate pool. I had a go at it but couldn't see it in windows all I could see was the existing 500gb hdds Thanks

Ok thank you. When I setup a separate pool for the 2x 2tb hdds I can see them in the web interface but I cant see them in windows all I can see is the existing 1tb that's is the 500gb hdds. How do I go about it. Thanks again

Please provide server information as link I've provided. Also elaborate on your problem. Can't see the disks in windows is pretty vague.

Sorry. Motherboard = gigabyte ga-78lmt-sp2
Ram =8gb
Boot drive= USB
Hdd 3x 500 Seagate pipeline hd 2
Hdd 2x 2tb h3c20003254s
That 500s are working well but I got hold of 2x 2tb yesterday and put them in and set them up with a pool on strafe as not worried about back up. But when I come to use the IP address on my windows PC all I can see is the 500s as I did before. Sorry if that's not much help
