I used this script to successfully create an m2 storage space. Now I want to add a new m2 and change this basi to raid1. What do I need to do?

Which Synology NAS do you have? And which DSM version?

I was hoping you had a 20 series or later then you could have used Synology_HDD_db

It is possible to run some SSH commands to add a drive to a Basic storage pool and change it to RAID 1, but I've never done it.

I would do the following:

  1. Move any packages installed on the NVMe volume to your HDD volume: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_app_mover
  2. Move any remaining shared folders on the NVMe volume to your HDD volume: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_app_mover/blob/main/images/move_shared_folder.png
  3. Delete the NVMe storage pool.
  4. Create a new RAID 1 storage pool with Synology_M2_volume.
  5. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to move your packages and shared folders to the NVMe volume.
