Physical migration (2x ReadyNAS 2) to ReadyNAS 4?
Hallo zusammen, ich habe hier 2x ReadyNAS Ultra2 (aka NAS#1, NAS#2) im Einsatz. Seit heute noch einen ReadyNAS Ultra4+ (aka NAS#3). Alle drei haben ReadyNAS OS 6.10.8. 1.) Könnte man die be...

XRAID would let you fully use the space in a 2x6TB+2x3TB single volume.
To create a single 12 TB volume on NAS 3, you can just do a factory default with all disks in place. That volume would have a 4x3TB RAID-5 group that is concatenated with a 2x3TB RAID-1 group.
But if you start with a 2x6TB volume, you won't be able to add the smaller disks to the same volume. The reason is that with original 2x6TB RAID-1 group would need to be repartitioned to get to 4x3 TB. The NAS software doesn't do that.
Thank you StephenB for the answer.
I try it in english...
The two old NAS holds the data and have a capacity of NAS#1 4TB and NAS#2 14TB (my big primary). Both as raid1.
For the new NAS#3 i have additional 2x 6TB and 2x 3TB free disks. Maybe next 2x 4TB outsorted/untested.
A third 6TB going defectly - now i look for a solution to bound the small 2x 3TB as replacement for it, to become a raid5. The maximum capacity is here not the primary goal.

That's great, i do it. Have a raid5 with the capacity of the two disk-pairs.
Acceptable solution. Thank you for the advice.
