Installing two hard drives as seperate volumes
Hi, I have just received my ReadyNas Duo and have got a 1 x 1TB hard drive, I am waiting fot Netgear to send me a 500GB hard drive. What I want to do is leave the 1TB as a seperate volume and us...
Before putting any data on it, you'll need to perform a factory default and during the 10-minute setup window select Flex-RAID as the RAID type using RAIDar. This will allow you to create multiple RAID 0 volumes.
After selecting Flex-RAID, the system will create a RAID 1 volume automatically. You need to delete the existing volume first:
Once that's done, you should be able to select which type of RAID array you wish to create, as well as which drives it should be created on:
After creating the volume, you will be prompted to restart the device before the volume is added:
If you've already put data on it & the RAID level is X-RAID, you'll need to backup your data & start again.
