Replacement drive help?
I have a ready nas NV+ and was experiencing issues with a dead drive. The 1TB drive was showing full and i only had 420gb of material on it. I have replaced the drive - and its still showing 0/931G...

All the files you can see are mirrored on both drives. So if you copied your media files twice (once into media and once into backup) then you actually have 4 copies of each file, not two.

So does that mean I could delete the whole of the share called backup and then just keep media in place?
In that case you should delete the duplicates in the backup share. You should of course have a backup, but that ought to be on different device (like a 1 TB USB drive for instance).
Well, I am not a Netgear support person, just a user. So its probably best not to do that.
