Seagate ST3000VN000 (3TB) in ReadyNAS Duo v2 (Edit: Duo V1)
I see from other posts that the Seagate NAS drives are on the HCL, though not for older products like the Duo v2. I have also noted that there is at least one 3TB disk on the HCL for the Duo v2. ......
You might as well put both 1tb and 3 TB in , set up the volume, then copy the data over.
You are correct in most of your reasoning.
If you have a 1 TB disk and two 3 TB disks the nas will create a raid 5 array using 1 TB of each disk, and a raid 1 array using the remaining 2tb of each of the 3 TB disks, leaving you with approximately 4 TB of space.
If there is a disk failure then the volume will not be redundant until you replace the disk, whichever disk it is. The volume cannot be reduced in size without a factory default.
