Adding and removing drives from server storage
Drives added or removed from an expansion bay must be added or removed
from total server storage.
Caution: When adding a hard drive to server storage, the hard drive is
formatted. Make sure to back up any important files that are on the hard drive
before adding it to server storage.

To remove a drive from the server’s storage
Caution: If the server does not have enough remaining storage, and you do
not first add another hard drive to server storage, either you will lose shared-
folder duplication
or you will lose files. This depends on how much server
storage space remains after you remove a hard drive.
