After Factory reset, quickest way to X-Raid2 with Dual redundancy 6x 2TB drives (RNDP6000)
I have 3 of the pro ready NAS drives (6 bays), one business and to readynas pro RNDP6000. One is set up as the "in use" drive and the other two are for back up. The "in use" drive was set up as XRA...

Can someone tell me the quickest way to set this 6 drive array as x-raid 2 with dual redundancy.
What I suggest is installing 5 drives first, and let it set up as XRAID-2 single redundancy. Then set the system to "add the next disk for redundancy" and hot-insert the final drive. That might not be "quickest", but it works reliably the first time.

Without any data on it I don't understand why it takes so long to "set up", what exactly is being copied for configuring drive 6?
RAID basically creates a virtual disk volume that sits between the physical drives and the file system. Each sector of the volume is protected by the RAID partity blocks - the RAID layer has no idea if the sectors are used or not. During the sync process, the system is mostly computing the parity blocks.
Thanks so much for the advice!
