Max disk size for NVX
Hello All, I just discovered that one of my disks crapped out (weird that it didn't email me since my alerts are functioning properly) in my NVX. I'm not sure if there are two versions of this uni...
Currently yes I am running a redundant array (x-raid2). So although one disk is dead (#3) my data is still intact. Unless you are referring to the current status which is yes it is not redundant (says on the LCD screen volume C is not protected). Hopefully I'm making sense (it's Friday :P)
Right now, from memory, #1 & 2 slots have 500GB and 3 & 4 have 1TB. I plan on buying 2 x 2TB drives (WD Red series). So replace #3 & 4 with the 2TB drives? Maybe I'll grab another 1TB so I can keep the current good 1TB, swap out a 500GB and the dead 1TB with the two 2TB and the other 500GB with the new 1TB. Therefore it'd be 1=1TB, 2=2TB, 3=2TB, 4=1TB (current good one). Can the NVX handle that organization or should the same capacity drives be next to each other? If they need to be would it be a problem swapping the drives around after they have successfully resynced?
Also I don't need to do a factory reset?
