Netgear Duo storage capacity
Hi. I have bought a Netgear Duo with 2x1tb hard drives installed and I want to ask a dumb question. The NAs is up and working, RaidR reports both drives are in, working and available. So why is ...
The ReadyNAS mirrors on a block level, the disks are mirrored, so only 1TB of usable space in that setup. It's not like a Drobo or Windows Home Server, where it keeps duplicates of files themselves, so the free space is much greater.
If you want 2TB of space, that would be RAID0/JBOD, with no data redundancy, if a disk were to fail, everything is lost.
