if they are not brand new ones) is described in the Article 30456. My configuration was initially 2 x 1TB / RAID 1 - Mirror / 50% used storage space, and finally 2 x 4 TB / RAID 1 - Mirror.Īssuming that we have two clean twin drives, both of the same type and greater capacity and we CERTAINLY DID A BACKUP OF ALL DATA (!) because this process finally leads to a TOTAL DATA LOSS, we can start upgrading our Lenovo ix2. How much time the data transfer takes depends on the amount of data, network speed, protocol and many other things. The entire procedure took me about 14 hours, but first of all it depends on the capacity of old and new HDDs and probably on the protection type we have and want to have.

Remember that if you decide to do things like I did, YOU DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK.įirst of all we must have enough free disk space for transferring ALL OUR DATA form the Lenovo storage to the temporary backup storage because after all we will transfer this data back to the Lenovo storage. Here is my solution (English is not my mother tongue so I beg your understanding) - how I did that from the beginning, with better results than doing that before as the Article 32099 suggested. My exercises with upgrading HDD capacity of Lenovo ix2 are FINISHED SUCCESSFULLY. I'm afraid that my device became unusable after replacing both HDDs (it's not ix2-dl device). I left the device in this state for about 20 hours and it still is glowing blinking white and continuous blue lights and is not responding (the web GUI does not appear). LED indicators started the same sequence as described above, I heared normal HDD noise for few minutes and after that nothing more happened. First I tried to use hardware button, but it caused no effect, so I disconnected the power connector and after few minutes I connected it again. The device stayed in this state for about 1 hour, the web interface did not appeared, so I decided to turn it off and on again. White LED indicator strated to glow continuous light, next white LED started blinking and blue LED started to glow continuous light. After next few minutes the device stoped working and I replaced the last drive in the bay #1. After that, when the web GUI started to work, I signed in as admin, checked that device still showed 1 TB of capacity and clicked "Power Off" from the web GUI. After replacing first drive in the bay #2 I turned on NAS and waited few minutes "for the device to re-sync" (as described in step 9). I did it carefully step by step as described in the Article 32099. I upgraded HDD from 2 x 1TB to brand new 2 x 4TB (both new drives are the same model).
