Do not throw away the critical status HDD that greater than 2TB size disk for Synology NAS

 It will always showing the "Critical" warning while using those 3TB, 4TB, 8TB etc. hard disk for Synology NAS on first times.

Diskpart> exit

Plug the HDD to Synology NAS.
Go to Storage Manager >> Select the Critical Drive >> Click on Action >> Select Deactivate Drive >> [v] >> OK >> Restart NAS


Go to Storage Manager >>  Highlight volume1 >> Click on ... >> Select Repair


Select drive(s) >> [V] >> Next >> [v] Expand the capacity of Volume 1 (to about ???? TB)) >> Next
