Volume Upgrade and disk Compatibility

Hi,
I have a TS-853A, and 2 disk are in raid1.
The raid volume is near full, and one of the disk had bad sector so I need to replace.
I woul dreplace the actual disk (WD60PURZ-85ZUFY1) with a WD RED PLUS 12TB. So ASAP i can replace also second disk with a RED PLUS 12TB and then ScaleUp volume from 6->12TB.

  1. It’s possible?
  2. WD RED PLUS 12TB are still supported by my NAS?

Tnx in advance!

You have a backup ?

No, difficult to backup 6TB of data, for this i need to expand my storage.
Also on RAID1 do you thing is required? (I know, more backup, better is…).
Disk is RAID1, i remove the first that is a copy of all data, then after restoring volume with new disk i will chek that all is ok… Also after when i remove the secondo disk i will have a new copy of data that i can store untill new disk is in and volume restored…
:crossed_fingers:

6TB is very easy to back up…USB Backup drives extist with over 22TB of capacity.

Without backups you WILL lose data …question is when.

I know, i mean only a backup for be sure about the upscale process…
For the life… another is needed.
I m waiting for fibra connection, and then i will backup on AWS Glacier.
I know the 3-2-1 best pratice… maybe when i can i will think also a local backup on external hd.
