Multiple RAID 1 volumes?
Are ReadyNAS devices able to create multiple RAID 1 volumes on a single drive? The reason I ask is because I need to have a volume per Time Machine backup for each of my Macs. Time Machine backups...
I don't know of any Raid device that will support multiple volumes on a single drive. Raid is basically structured to take multiple drives and put them together in a volume. Now, you could use two drives and set up two Raid0 volumes, 1 on each drive. Or, you could use four drives and do two Raid1 volumes, each using two drives for redundancy.
If you are only going to use it for backup, the redundancy is not as critical.
Some of the other members who are more familiar with Macs and Time Machine may better information.
I went the other way, and keep absolutely no data on my PC's. Once I get a system up and functional, I clone the system drive, so if I lose the drive I don't have to reinstall from scratch again. All of my data resides on my ReadyNAS with single redundancy and backed up to another ReadyNAS.
