May ressurect my RN Duo. I cant remember the max drive
geometries allowable. Anybody remember? Original HCL list doesn't link properly anymore.
Thanks,
William

One big warning about RAID0: if you lose one drive, you lose everything. Two separate volumes is safer, though you do then have to manually manage content space on them.
I totally agree, and I use two volumes on my own Duo for that reason. If you go with two volumes, I suggest going into flexraid with only one disk installed, and then insert the second disk (and create the second volume) after setup. Sometimes the Duo seems determined to use a single volume in flexraid setup, and that can't go wrong if there is only one disk in the system.
It only shows in the wait time, and then only on older RAIDar 4.3.8. But you can destroy the volume it is currently syncing and replace it with a RAID0 volume. One big warning about RAID0: if you lose one drive, you lose everything. Two separate volumes is safer, though you do then have to manually manage content space on them. Of course, you really should have a backup; and if you do, it would just be a matter of it taking longer to restore everything.

Thanks all for the help, the Duo is up
and running, Raid0 for now. I'll probably
change the configuration in a few weeks.
Thanks,
