Hello, I have a 240 GB ssd as my cache (old drive), I add 1 tb ssd now, and it only shows 240 GB remaining, my goal was to add more storage and redundancy, so now my question is it ok to pull out the 240gb ssd and just add an other 1tb ssd and my pool will be recalculated to 1tb raid1 with redundancy?? I have the latest pro version of unraid i'm lost and completely clueless, i really would appreciate your help And by the way how do you back up your cache pool. Do I just copy all the contents to a folder. I have docker apps that I'm worried to loose I look forward your support Regards, Ammar
