upgrading capacity
Hi - I have a RN314 with 4 x 3TB hdd. I am looking to upgrade my capacity and was considering a) getting 4 x 6 TB for the 314 or b) a 312 with 2 x 10TB - and keeping the 314. Any thoughts... would 2 ...
LAre you factoring in to your costing the fact that you would have four 3 tb disks free with the first approach. These could be sold or repurposed.
With today's cost of 10 tb disks, using them in RAID 1 doesn't seem cost effective. A RAID 1 array would be faster than a RAID 5 (xraid) array.
Another approach would be to upgrade to a six bay Readynas, use the existing disks and add new ones as you need capacity. As you gradually upgrade the disk sizes the 4 bay unit could be populated with the smaller disks and used as a backup.
