Basic Questions about RR2304, RN3138, RR2312

Hello,

 

I'm looking for a NAS to store video camera data for a security system

 

I'm trying to get some basic information about the following models without success.

 

RR2304, RN3138

Do these models support RAID1?

What is the maximum size hard drive they can accomodate?

 

RR2312

What is the maximum size hard drive it can accomodate?

Does this model support RAID5?

If Yes to RAID5, how many hot spares can be configured?

Will it add additional drives to a RAID5 array without data loss?

 

Thank you

Never mind.

 

I found a phone number (not on this website) which eventually got me to a technician who linked me to the following websites that answered my questions:

 

Hard Disk Compatibility: https://kb.netgear.com/20641/ReadyNAS-Hard-Disk-Compatibility-List

RAIDhttps://rdconfigurator.netgear.com/raid/index.html

 

NetGear: Why was this so hard? Why isn't this information readily available?

I'm not Netgear.  But the RAID modes are on the datasheet, which isn't very hard to find:  https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/storage/RR2304_RR2312_RN3138_DS.pdf

 

On the max disk size, there is no known limit in the hardware or software.
