Your new drive will pop up in the drive pool as Not initialised. Please refer to the following table for the maximum single volume size of different Synology NAS models. Synology - Rebuild Volume Steps On your Diskstation manager (DSM) go to Storage Manager>HDD/SSD. However, please note that the maximum single volume size is not directly related to the total capacity available in a storage pool. Only a few models support a maximum single volume size of 200 TB. In general, Synology NAS models that come with a 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (圆4) CPU architecture support a maximum single volume size of 16 TB or 108 TB, respectively. 2 The drive is not in use and has not been assigned to a storage pool. 'Maximum single volume size of Synology NAS Last updated: Details If your drive has a Not Initialized allocation status 1, it may indicate that: The drive contains no system partition. You can create a second volume though, but I just want to create single volumes for simplicity. Note: All existing data on the replacement drive will be erased. If your Synology NAS does not support hot-swapping, power off your device before removing and installing any drives. Remove the defective drive from your Synology NAS and replace it with a healthy one. It is tied to the CPU architecture unfortunately, so I doubt I will continue using the ones I have. Go to the HDD/SSD page to confirm which drive is defective.

The Synology has a better OS and density for the price point, but not supporting the full drive size is wasteful. That seems to be the path I am going since the platform is CPU restricted to certain volume size, but a storage pool can have multiple volumes. If the DS1821+'s don't get 18tb or larger drive support I will just sell them, and buy more Asustor's. I have been buying Asustor's that now support the 18tb WD drives.

Kind of sucks, but I am hopeful they update the firmware to support the larger drives, but I started buying other products that can support the larger drives without issue. Remove the failed hard drive and replace it with a new one. If so, go to the HDD/SSD tab to see which hard drive has failed. To repair a degraded volume or disk group: Go to Storage Manager > Volume or Disk Group to confirm the status has changed to Degraded. It will initialize the storage and volume, but will cap out at the stated spec storage limit of 108TB. The status of the hard drive for replacement must be Initialized or Not Initialized. I have eight WD Gold 18tb drives per DS1821+ (I have four) with maximum memory and the latest firmware, DSM 7.0-41890. Based on your follow up comments I believe your only options are to change RAID type to RAID 1 (which you listed as a possibility when clicking 'Change RAID type'), create a new volume on the new drive, or delete the current volume and recreate as RAID 0 and include both disks.
