RAID 1 for ReadyNAS Ultra 2
Hello all, I have just received my ReadyNAS Ultra 2 and I wish to perform a simple RAID 1. But I would like to know it it will be possible, in cas of a hardware failure of the ReadyNAS, to take on...
RAID-1 is simpler for recovery, since the drives are mirrored. RAID-5 is more efficient (more available space on the volume for the same disks).
Though RAiD-0 and RAID-1 are the only choices you have with an ultra-2. Your other main option would be to have two RAID-0 volumes (one for each drive), and to sync them up with FrontView backup. One could also use RAID-0 to create a single aggregated volume (spanning both drives), but this has a huge drawback. If either drive were to fail, you would lose all your data.
