RND4000 v3 (ReadyNAS NV+) RAID 1
Hello. Newly purchased ReadyNAS NV+ v3, to be used as media server mostly. Flex-RAID, two volumes RAID 1, currently 4 x 1TB discs. I had backed everything up onto a 2TB disk, and bought a second 2...
Thanks. That's very helpful (your information, not the behaviour of the system!). It is old technology - I shouldn't expect too much. It's SO much quieter than my other NASes.

Actually, on second thoughts, look what I've found! The clear implication is that it will do as I was hoping for. I'll try it (after making a second back-up of course: I've become paranoid after a data loss in RAID 5) and let the community know, FWIW, what happens.

No, that's not the clear implication. The section you are quoting is for XRAID, not FlexRAID.
- Oh! It seemed to be in the Flex-RAID section, and it refers to RAID 1 specifically, which isn't a feature of X-RAID... I'll try it anyway.
Thanks for your help.

Looking again, the snippet does seem to be in the FlexRaid section. Anyway, hopefully it will expand.
