10TB with USB expansion on Duo V1 possible?
Hi forum members, Based on my searching, it seems to me that the following is possible on a Duo v1 (sparc) but I want to be sure before I expand: I have 2X2tb As raid 0 = 4Tb. The duo has 3 usb...
Thanks to both of you. I appreciate the responses.
The backup is not a concern to me. (I pay for a large dropbox account and keep critical files backed up that way.) The readynas is now used strictly as a media server - and if I lose that media, it is not the end of the world. I have streamed HD media off an attached USB drive before and even wirelessly - the Duo is snappy enough to do that. The RN104 would be nice, it actually looks like a great NAS. I just wanted to know whether the 10TB was theoretically possible and it seems that it is.
I'm facing this decision now because one of my seagate 5900 LP "click of death" drives just failed. The other one is working well, but who knows for how long. I am going to take this opportunity to replace that drive with WD REDs, and attach the remaining working 5900LP drive as USB. If I want to expand later on, I could either get another NAS or add a couple more 2TB drives up to 10TB.
