RN3200 XRAID Expansion - Sanity Check.
Folks, We have an existing 6TB (6 x 1TB Factory Stock Drives) in a XRAID2 array which we are looking to expand with the addition of 3 x 2Tb drives from the approved drive list. Ideally I would like ...
the 3200 uses dual redundancy by default, so unless single redundancy was manually chosen, the vertical expansion will result in ~2tb additional.
2 raid layers;
6x 1tb + 4x1tb (from 2tb drives) minus 2x 1tb for dual redundancy (~8tb)
4x 1tb (from the 2tb drives) minus 2x 1tb for dual redundancy (~2tb)
= ~10tb gross, net usable is gonna be about 9 to 9.5tb.
