XRaid on old ReadyNas 2150
I have an older ReadyNAS that I plugged in 8 years and pretty much forgot about it. Two 500 gb drives. I sort of understand the XRAID concept but I don't understand how if I insert a new drive, say a...
Thanks for the clarification. Another question. I'm looking at the hardware compatability list, under legacy, and I don't see my model. I see a ReadyNAS 2100 and ReayNAS 2100-D but no 2150. Would it be sufficient to use what is listed for the 2100?

Netgear stopped updating it quite a while ago, so I think it's a waste of time to go there. Most the disks are out of production, and (if you can find them at all) are overpriced.
I recommend a WD10EFRX or a WD20EFRX. Both are NAS-purposed drives, run cool, are acoustically quiet, and will work well with the duo. If you prefer Seagate, go with the 1 or 2 TB IronWolf.
