Maximum capacity storage per disk with readynas nv+
Hello, I'm sorry, I am newb in NAS system. I have retrieve a Ready Nas Nv+ (back sticker RND4475) I would know if maximum capacity storage disk was dependent of the firmware or of the NAS system ?...
so you mean 2TB disk in each bay? ie: 8TB total capacity for readynas nv+ (silver chassis)?

Yes.
That works out to a 6 TB XRAID or RAID-5 volume (~5.4 TiB).
To use the full raw capacity you'd need either jbod or spanning raid-0. jbod is much safer.
sorry I have to ask a question, you can create RAID 0 even one share with full capacity,therefore a share of the full 8 TB? Thank you for your help!

You can create a RAID-0 8 TB volume.
But it is not a very good idea. If any disk fails, the whole array is lost.
