Best configuration for 6TB 1TB 8TB and 8TB
Hi,
Currently I am running 6TB and 1TB as JBOD; 6TB as the main storeage, and 1TB only dedicated for bittorrent downloading. And I am going to add two more 8TB drivers to my readynas. what's best configuration for me? I don't think I need redundant for data protection, but perfer full capacity and better performance for 4K streaming. Thanks,

Which ReadyNAS do you have? Why not add the additional drives as JBOD volumes as you have done before if you don't need RAID configuration?

Sounds like the best answer to me given the constraints.
FWIW, 4K streaming won't stress the disks (even the high bit rate ones are only around 100 mbits). The key issue here is that you want to maximize capacity.
my 4k streaming is not that good, always stop and go.
my model is 204, and i am thinking make some driver raid could improve the performnace
