Readynas Duo X-RAID to RAID0
Hi all, I have a Readynas Duo with a 1TB and a 2TB drive, running X-RAID. I want to achieve maximal space, using two raid0 volumes (redundancy is not an issue). Could someone please tell me if I can ...
Just to make sure we are both using the same terminology:
When you say "direct ethernet connection" do you mean connecting the Duo directly to a PC via the ethernet ports? If so, you are using the term correctly. However, connecting the Duo directly to a PC (both with gigabit ethernet ports) should result in more like 25MB/s with is 200Mb/s. The capital B is Bytes the lower case b is bits. If however, your PC only has a fast ethernet port it is only capable of speeds up to 100Mb/s which would equate to about 12.5MB/s.
The slower speed is also the speed which I was getting through my network when I had only a fast ethernet switch. Changing to a gigabit switch, I was able to double the speed as I now had a gigabit (1000Mb/s) connection all the way from my NV+ to my desktop. Unfortunately, the USB2 connection won't be much faster. You are probably looking at something in the order of 20 hours if your 1TB volume is close to full.
Look in your manual about setting up a backup job. You can connect the USB drive directly to the Duo and configure a backup job to back up a share to the USB drive. (Each share that is used requires a separate backup job).
