Easiest RAID configuration to recover data if ReadyNAS fails
Hello, I have a ReadyNAS 104 and am not able to buy another quickly if mine fails someday (the NAS, not the drives), because I live in Brazil and hardware of this type here is prohibitely expensive...
Though I haven't done this with OS6, I think you need something like
1) Copy over the data from the older hdds to the nas
2) unformat both older hdds
3) hot-insert one older HDD into the NAS and wait for resync
4) convert from xraid to flexraid
5) hot-insert the second older HDD into the NAS, you should be able to click on it and add it for redundancy
Though a couple of other folks who post regularly have gone through this process - hopefully they will chime in on the precise procedure they used.
