Creating a separate volume on each disk is preferable as if one disk fails only the data on that disk is lost. If you have a single RAID-0 volume spanning both disks if either disk fails all data is lost.
That's the problem. I'm sure I'm resetting it correctly but when I get back into it, it won't even come up with that option to use Flex-RAID again for some reason. Just keeps going back to as if nothing had happened.
Powering down the unit, starting it up with reset button held in then pressing back up twice until disk 1 LED light comes on then pressing reset again. That seems to be the right way to do it after hours of research:) Does this sound correct or am I missing something? Cheers again.
