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...
Hello,
I've found a 2.5" 320gb hdd here and completed the test with success ending up with a RAID 6 array (although total size is ~585Gb using 2x320Gb + 2x3Tb, and that's strange. If the 2x3TB failed, I think not all data would be recoverable).
One final question: is there a way to know if the data is evenly spread accross the hdds and if I really have safety for up to 2 hdd failures?
