ReadyNAS Ultra 6 plus
Looking to purchase a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus. Would like to load it with 4tb Hard Drives. Which drives are recommended? Will I be able to end up with 20TB once one drive is lost to the RAID? ...
There are no 4TB disks on the Hard Disk HCL yet so if you have issues you will be denied support. Suggestion would be to:
1. Insert one drive
2. Update to latest RAIDiator
3. Power down, put rest of disks in and do a factory default: http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_use_the_boot_menu
This will give you a clean setup on the latest firmware.
Whilst you could use single-redundancy or RAID-5 to get 20TB before overheads and discrepancy in how space is measured, with that much data I'd use X-RAID2 dual-redundancy or RAID-6.
