    [SOLVED] BC115j Upgrade Drives or New Unit?

    https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/help/DSM/StorageManager/storage_pool_expand_replace_disk That sort of helps, but my drives are the same size, and only two bays so it’s confusing advice they give. It would be much easier to replace one, let it write and then replace the other.

    [SOLVED] BC115j Upgrade Drives or New Unit?

    Thank you! I think my unit only has one drive? Is it easy to just put it in to a 2 bay unit? Do both drives have to be the same size. Newbie questions here. Sorry.

    [SOLVED] BC115j Upgrade Drives or New Unit?

    I have a Synology BeyondCloud 1-Bay (1x 2TB NAS Drives) Network Attached Storage (NAS) BC115j 1200 It's was my starter nas, not the best but was super easy to setup. Unfortunately- quickly ran out of space. Upgrade the drives or get a new unit? Thoughts?
