We have a Hikvision model DS-9664NI-I8 with currently 6 disks of 6TB. After adding a 10TB drive and clicking the button to init the new harddrive I get a warning that says "after initialization all logs and videos in the disk database will be lost". Does this mean what I think it means that all recordings on the old drives will get wiped out? I don't recall getting this warning when adding a 6TB disk so I'm wondering if it's because of the different disk size?

Any insights would be much appreciated.

Are the existing discs configured as a RAID group, or are grouped by camera sets?

I'm embarrassed to say I don't know as I see no where in the web interface related to RAID configuration. But I guess your point is if it is using RAID then adding a larger drive would require it to rebuild the array and hence wipe out all data?
