X-RAID upgrading from 2 drives to 4
If I had an NV+ with two drives (400GB each) in X-RAID configuration and I wanted to replace them with say, 4x1TB units, are my calculations below correct for each step in the process?: At start, 2...
Thanks for the reply. I've managed to stick with the compatibility list so far so unless there's a very good reason, I'd like to continue doing so. Do the WD Red drives constitute such a good reason?
I could go through the CL and check the price of every 2TB drive to see if it falls within my budget, but I'm more interested if anybody has opinions on what drives would be a good pairing with my two existing-but-as-yet-unused Samsung F4s. I know these were at the budget end of the market when I bought them, but was happy to go with them because my NV+ wasn't a high performance unit anyway. I'm loathe to spend too much if I won't benefit from them being significantly better than the Samsungs - money would be better spent on a new NAS with a whole set of new drives! :)
