Upgrading NAS Questions

If I just add a 14tb drive, it will only use 6tb of the capacity to not mess up the raid array. I get this, but if over time I upgrade all the drives to 14tb, how would I tell the raid to use 14tb per drive and not just 6tb?
Your NAS will automatically adjust capacity to reflect the smallest drive in the array.

You can use either non-ECC or ECC SODIMM modules with the 1821+. You may see a slight performance improvement if you go non-ECC.
