6 drives, 2x3tb 4x2tb, 3tb show as 2tb WTF
Hey All. Okay, just set this thing up, updated the firmware, etc. Disks are: 3tb 3tb 2tb 2tb 2tb 2tb It is set up as Raid Level X-Raid2 6 disks. But for some reason the volumes of ...
4x3TB+2x2TB or 6x3TB are best. I guess 5x3TB is also reasonable, leaving 1 slot open for future expansion.

I would like to have X-RAID2 dual redundancy and have a mix of 3TB and 2TB disks available for use. My desire at first was to first use my 2TB disks since I've had those the longest but after reading through the responses, it sounds like I should be using at least 4x3TB and only then use the 2TB disks. With the recent sales on 3TB disks, I could load up all 6 slots with 3TB disks and then save the 2TB disks for an offline backup.
