Connecting a 2 bay use caddy to one use port on a RN 104 is this possible
Hi pretty new to this I am running a ready nas 104 with the latest software 4.wd red 2tb drives I Have a couple of western digital green drives and a 2 bay Orico drive caddy not in any raid format ...
I believe you are asking about using a multi-drive USB enclosure with your ReadyNAS and that, further, you are using it in a JBOD rather than a spanned or RAID configuration (so you see each drive in the enclosure separately). The word "caddy" is confusing some, as that's simply a mounting device, as is used to hold the drives in your NAS.
I know that with the older model ReadyNAS devices, it was sort of hit-or-miss whether one of these would work or not. Some brands did, others not.
