Drive Compatibility & Expansion Related Issues
I am planning to buy ReadyNAS RN104 Diskless because I already have 2x1TB hard drives. Specification for drives is: "Samsung Barracuda Green HD105SI 1 Terabyte (1TB) SATA/300 5400RPM 32MB Hard Drive"...
Those drives are not on the compatibility list - which is here: https://www.readynas.com/?page_id=82
They likely would work, but if you use drives that aren't on the HCL netgear can/will deny support.
Questions 3-5 are answered in the manual found here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/ ... pr2013.pdf
If you start with 2x1TB and use the default XRAID you would have 1 TB capacity.
Adding a third drive of 2 TB size would result in a 2 TB volume (1 TB of the new drive would be unused).
Adding a fourth drive of 2 TB size would result in 4 TB volume. 2 TB would provide redundancy, the rest would all be used for data.
