I have a Synology DS916+ with 4x4TB drives. It was close to full, so rather than swap out with larger drives, I decided to get the DX513 5-bay expansion unit. I started with 2x8TB drives, basically doubling my storage. When I added it I chose to add as a disk group, rather than to the existing volume. From what I read, this seemed like the better option. Now that it’s done initializing, only the original volume shows up in Storage Manager under Volume, with the the original limited space available. The two new disks show up under Disk Group with the added storage, but under the name DX 513-1. I can’t figure out how to actually access these drives. Only the original volume shows up on my Mac. I’m no expert, but I can usually figure things out by poking around, but this one has me stumped. Should I not have used Disk Group? It seemed like I was getting more available storage with this option, but I may have been wrong about that. Again, I’m no expert. Any help would be appreciated.
