ReadyNAS Duo v2 switch to JBOD

Hi , I have an old ReadyNAS Duo v2 and it has been running in flexi raid 0 but have been trying to change it to JBOD but have tried 3 times and it just keeps going back to raid 0.

I am just doing a factory reset then selecting JBOD from the drop-down when the option comes up, should I be doing something else?

    4.1.x firmware?  Or 5.3.x?

    Generally ReadyNAS use RAID-0 with a single disk for JBOD.  Which can be confusing.

     

    You can do the factory reset with just one disk installed, and then add the other later on (creating the D volume).

  • Thanks, I did not want to add the second drive if it would be configured as one of the RAID versions.
