August 27, 2025Aug 27 HI folks, I currently have a 4-bay NAS with 4 8TB HDDs in it. One is used for parity.I have bought a new NAS (Opnnas for those wondering) and 4 26TB drives.How do I go from my current NAS to the new NAS? At the end of the day, I’d like my new NAS to have a 26TB parity drive, all of the data from the old NAS should still be intact and usable, and the current 8TB parity drive will just become a regular drive in the array. How do I get to my desired setup?
August 27, 2025Aug 27 Community Expert Solution You can move the disks to the new NAS and then upgrade parity, or transfer the data over LAN, for example.

Thank you. Can any unraid installation do the preclear, or do I have to do it on the installation that "owns" the array that I will be adding the disk to?
