before adding it to server storage.

system tray.

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.
