Add Extra HDD to Server

Hello all

My server had one array(Raid 1+0) with 4 SAS drives. I needed extra space so I added 4 more drives identical to the old ones, and I created a second array(Raid 0) with them

Then, I changed the new disk to Online and everything seems to be fine, but the hard disks led is RED

Is there an issue here? what is it?

I appreciate your help.

The four on the left are the old ones, the four on the right are the new ones

Hello,

good that you add Photos, this makes it clear for Diag.

This is the "Do not remove" Button, it is a Warning, that if you remove one of these Drives or one failed, everything is lost.

The reason for this is, that the Logical Drive 2 you create is a Raid 0 Raid.

If that was on purpose, everything is fine and then it is just a reminder, if not, it would be better to recreate as Raid 1 or Raid 5.

Hello,

As per shared phot I did not see the RED LED.
 I would suggest wait for next couple of days.
