Please go easy on me I'm out of my depth here I'm sorry if I use wrong terms.

I was given a 8 Bay ThunderBay for work. When I set it up, I only used 4 of the bays to create a 24TB volume. I don't know why, I thought I could add the other 4 later but I now know that's not possible.

I'm at the point where I now need that extra 24TB that I haven't used. But I'm so unsure what to do and I don't want to risk losing everything on the existing Volume. Do I create a new Volume and work that way with 2 Volumes, 4 Bays each on one Thunderbay? Or should I start over and back up what I have, delete the 4 Bay volume and set it up again as an 8 Bay?

I appreciate any advice thank you!!
