RN104 Adding Volumes

Hi all,

 

Quick question, I currently have the ReadyNAS 104 and have a 4TB and a 2TB installed as JBOD as I do not want backup or redundancy.

 

I want to add another ior maybe 2 4TB hard drives. Will I also be able to have them as JBOD so I see full capacity with no redundancy or backup.

 

I read somewhere you can only have two drives as JBOD, any help appreciated :)

    You should be able to set up 4 JBOD volumes.

    So you are using flexraid,  I didn't think of there are limitations for that,  so I think you can do,  if you can't, let us know more informations like the firmware version you are running.
