Synology can't use second disk
I got new Synology NAS server with 2 HDD. First one is 2 TB and second 6 TB. It automatically set everything and I just created user. Then I logged in and noticed that I can store my data only to the 2TB HDD. But when I take a look at disk group I can see the second HDD.
Any ideas why I can't use the second 6TB HDD?

Are you asking the reason your capacity didn't go up?

How is your storage configured. It may be that the Synology's storage setup is focused on data protection, and so you are limited to the size of your smallest drive. I suggest you read up on your Synology and NAS data storage setups and their purposes, strengths, and weaknesses.

Yes... why it didn't go up when I have 6TB disk + 2TB disk. I guess maybe the problem is RAID? data protection... you mean RAID?
