Expanding RAID Capacity Without Deleting Data
You can create or expand a RAID array without erasing data on the drive by using RMM (RAID Mode Manager).
If using a TeraStation model whose drives are not fully installed into the slots, such as the TS3410DN TeraStation
model with two drives included, follow the procedure to add a new drive first. Otherwise, refer to the procedures in
this section to configure the RAID array. The following examples use the case of the TS3410DN TeraStation model.
