Hello
Thank you for answer and advices and sorry for late my replay.
Problem is resolved.
I have used 2x HDD WD20EURX - 2TB each to creat backup in ReadyNas Duo v2. HDD's are less then half year old. Before I've putted them to ReadyNas I've cleaned them and I've scanned whole surface via special software to check they havn't any bad sectors.
After that I wanted to create RAID0 but I didn't know RAIDar 6.5.0. (the newest version) can not do that. I was resetting ReadyNas plenty times and I was trying every options of this software but without any results. Always this software was creatiing RAID1.
So I was start looking for some solution online and I've find information the software RAIDar 4.3.8 is correct software and can create RAID0 properly.
I started using this software but results was the same. After creating RAID0 capacity of volume was 1.8TB. Then i decide to write on this forum and ask for advice.
Finaly, when I couldn't to create RAID0 I have taken out both HDD's from enclosure and I've connected them to computer. And turned out bothe of them have changed capacity to 1TB.I have no idea when it happened but on 100% some RAIDar software had to do this.
I've used special software to recover original capacity of each hard drive and right now both HDD's are working properly in two separate external enclosures. My backup is done but I am not using ReadyNas Duo V2 anymore.
Thank you for yor time and your advices.
Best Regards:
