Expanding storage capacity on an OpenMediaVault system typically involves incorporating a new disk drive. This process allows for increased data storage, enabling the accommodation of additional files, media, or applications on the network-attached storage (NAS) device. For instance, adding a larger hard drive can significantly increase the available space on an OpenMediaVault server used for media streaming and backups.
The ability to augment storage is a core benefit of NAS solutions, providing scalability to meet evolving data needs. Historically, managing storage has been a complex task, but modern NAS operating systems, such as OpenMediaVault, have simplified the procedure, making it accessible to users with varying levels of technical expertise. This flexibility ensures the longevity and adaptability of the storage infrastructure.
