The way I see it, is that I have two options. 1: buy two 2TB drives and increase my memory by 500GB. Cost appox $185 per drive = $370. 2: buy a Qnap TS 410 Turbo Station with 4 bays. Cost $625 plus two 1.5 TB drives Approx $125 per drive = $250, so total of $875 and increase my memory by 3 TB. SO not much over double the cost of option 1 for 6 times the amount of memory. Finally to my question: with both the Qnap TS-219 Turbo NAS and the Qnap TS 410 Turbo Station, can I just buy a bigger drive, take out a 1.5 TB drive and put in a 2TB drive? Will both systems recognise the bigger drives and automatically configer the new drive to provide more available memory? Dear Jim or anyone in the know,
