Hard disks Raid 1
I would like to ask something... maybe for someone will be silly...
My readynas 102 has 2-bay. I have put 2 hard disks and at the system menu and then in volume i see with green line "X-RAID" and type "Raid 1". This means that it is mirror? If for a reason the first disk stop work then automatic i will see the files from the second hard disk? What means Raid 1 and x-raid?
Yes in Xraid with 2 disks you will have a raid 1 (mirrored) volume. If 1 disk dies or is removed the volume is still accessible.
This is does not mean you do not need a backup of the data on the volume. There are events that can lead to data loss that raid does not protect you against.

So the other volume will have all my files? If i understand anything i save to the first volume automatic save also to the second volume?
They are not really 2 volumes, it is one redundant volume. If you were to remove or lose a disk, the volume data is intact but the volume is then unprotected. You would still be able to access all your data.
i must reiterate that you must also backup the data on the volume to at least one other device, preferably also offsite or into the cloud.
