ReadyNAS Ultra 6 expansion
Hello all, first off, hats off to Netgear for their products and to all of you for creating this amazingly resourceful forum. However, I have two specific questions regarding my setup I haven't bee...
Hi,
thanks for your reply. So now that I'm using six drives, I'm pretty obligated to keep using six unless I am willing to do a factory default? If that's the case, doesn't it make more sense to use six 3TB drives? What will my volume be with 6 x 3TB drives?
I knew about the 16TB limit; not about the 8TB limit. But I don't either of those limits will be a problem; I'd probably hit those numbers if I'd get six 4TB drives which is not happening.
Also, about the backup, well, my NAS IS the backup..it's already in RAID config, so unless I get another NAS to function as a backup for my current NAS, I would have no idea how/where to backup 10TB of data..
