Incremental Upgrades
Hi, After a bit of advice. I'm thinking of getting a RN104. I currently have a Duo running two 500Gb drives. I'm looking to initially put in 2x 1Tb drives, and then transfer the information acro...
If you are running a duo v1 (4.1.x firmware), then there are several differences.
A duo can only run raid-1 (mirrored drives) since there are only two bays. a 4-bay unit can also run raid-5.
xraid2 generally offers more flexible expansion. For instance, in a 4 bay unit xraid-2 can handle 2x3TB+2x1TB in a single array. XRAID cannot.
There are other major differences in the RN104. One is that the file system is btrfs, not ext4. And OS6 is completely new of course.
