Flex-raid/Raid Question
Hello, sorry if this is a duplicate question, I couldn't find an answer. I purchased a RN214, arriving later this week. I started with 2 WD Red 6TB drives. I'm looking to run RAID 1. I'm not usin...
Neither is actually Netgear proprietary. "Flex-RAID" is what Negear calls what everyone else calls "RAID", just to differentiate it from XRAID. XRAID (at least in the current OS) is really just standard RAID but wioth a layer on top that makes expansion decisions for you instead of requiring you to know anough to execute them yourself.
XRAID volumes can still be standard RAID1, RAID5, or RAID6, depending on the number of drives. One limitiation is that XRAID is limited to one volume per chassis.
Also, both Flex-RAID and X-RAID volumes can be mounted in a standard linux box.
So you might reconsider your reasons to avoid X-RAID.
