ReadyNas Duo v2 - Installation & Setup
Hi all This is my first post and I admit it is a little noobish, so please go gentle :) After extensive research particularly on this forum, coupled with the fact that I own numerous Netgear p...
1) Configure the D-link to bridge the network of your WNR3500 (assuming the WNR3500 is the main router).
2) You don't need to wait to do a factory default. It can be done by powering down, then using the boot menu: http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_reset_the_readynas_to_factory_default
Instructions for using Flex-RAID are here: Configuring Your ReadyNAS for Flex-RAID
3) You can create up to 4 volumes (2 per disk). Personally I'd recommend creating separate volumes on disk 1 and disk 2. If you go with one big 6TB volume if any disk fails all data is lost. When a disk fails all data on all RAID-0 volumes utilising that disk is lost.
4) You can open RAIDar (http://www.readynas.com/downloads) and click setup or you can go to https://ip.address.of.nas/admin[/url} directly in your web browser. RAIDiator is not a program. RAIDiator is the operating system/firmware on the NAS itself.
5) Personally I'd recommend X-RAID2. Do also note that you can migrate disks across to the NV+ v2 (see [url:26mh4b8w]http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_migrate_disks_over_from_an_existing_readynas_to_another). The NV+ v2 can have 3x the capacity of the Duo v2 using X-RAID2 and the same capacity disks. (4-1) * 2TB = 3 * (2-1) * 2TB = 3 * 2TB
