ReadyNas 104 maximum expansion
Hi evryone,
today is a second day with my ReadyNas 104 and I'm very satisfied of this product !
I have one question on the maximum volume capacity to 16TB with the new firmware. The best solution with x-raid is 2x 5TB and 2x 6TB hard drive? so as have 15TB?
Now my ReadyNas has 2x 3TB WD RED and I want considering the best volume upgrade by future.
Thanks,
Giusepe

The RN100 series started out with a 16 TiB volume limit, but in 6.4.0 this was changed, so there is no longer a volume limit.

Hopefully not Seagate Archival drives...

yes, I have updated the firmware to 6.4.0 so I don't have any limit with my x-raid system? this is a great notice!
So can I add 2x 8TB WD RED to my 2x 3TB base and than replace my hard drive base with another 2x 8TB without loss the data?
You're running 6.0 and as far as I believe 6.0 doesn't have an expansion limit. I would know as I would have already hit it... I started out with 1 8TB drive in a readynas pro 6 and then added 3 more (I have 21.82TB's of storage available to me.)
Will be adding two more 8TB drives as soon as I find a few good deals on them.
So for you on a 104 I'd say you'll be just fine.
