ReadyNAS 102 + single disks (non raid)
Hi, I've been reading the software manual of the ReadyNAS 102 and can't determine if the device meets my needs. I am trying to determine if I can put in 2x 3TB drives and have each drive be indepe...
If i want a NAS to do transcoding will a faster ARM do (ie. the qnap has a 2GHz cpu) or do I have to move to an Intel Atom or better based NAS?
Can you explain the backup difficulties with iSCSi images on the NAS? If drive 2 is a copy of drive 1 than I don't need to backup. If one drive dies I install a new one and copy from the good drive and I'm back where I started, no?
What would be the best method to mount the drives in Windows so I can see them and move things around as I see fit? I figured with iSCSI i can just mount them with drive letters so they appear like the 2x 2TB drives currently in the computer. I'd then move things off the 2TB drives onto the 3TB drives. Once 5TB drives become available ( I hear late 2013/early 2014) I'd get one in an enclosure, connect via USB3 to my computer and copy the contents of all 5TB for added protection.
Thanks for the assistance and sorry for all the questions.
PS I guess you can tell I've never owned a NAS or any storage device that wasn't already present in a computer. I have some familiarity with an iSCSI SAN.
