RN716 with 10TB Disks
Hi all, I have confused myself comparing the spec sheets and the HCL for the RN716x and need a bit of clarity if anyone can help?
1. Are 10TB disks supported in the RN716X ( I believe so as the HCL says yes)
2. Will the RN716x support 6 x 10TB disks
3. If so will it support all RAID configs for 6 x 10TB disks (I want RAID5)
4. Can I configure the 6 x 10TB RAID5 as one single volume
Thanks in advance.
1. Yes. Spec sheets reflect what was available when they were written.
2. Yes
3. Yes, but I'd recommend considering other RAID levels e.g. RAID-6, RAID-50 etc. In any case regardless of which RAID level you use be sure to backup your data. Don't store important data on just the one device.
4. Yes
