Netgear ReadyNAS 312 / SSD / raid 0 problem

Hi people - this is my first post on this forum :)
My system: Netgear-ReadyNAS-312 with two SSDs on raid0:

-Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500GB (MZ-7TE500BW)
-APPLE SSD TS512C 500GB

this configuration worked perfectly and i used it as a 1TB NAS

After 4 months I wanted to enlarge the volume replacing the Samsung 500GB MZ-7TE500B with a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1TB (MZ-7TE1T0BW).
I expected to obtain a volume from 1,5TB but ReadyNAS generates a raid0 volume with just 920 GB...

What I'm doing wrong... :(

Thanx
Julian

    You should create a separate volume for each SSD. We use the capacity of the smallest one for spanned volumes (which I don't recommend as if either SSD fails all data is lost).

    There's certainly no performance gain in spanning SSDs.
  • I had seen that some of the RN 3XX/5XX will stuck in OS reboot with 6.1.9 code when SSD drive installed. From my past experiences, I had to power off the system from rocker switch behind the box and power back on to boot normal.
