RN526X with 6x 4TB WD Red PRO. What should I set up this time, my 3rd readynas.
This was a bit unscheduled since I was thinking to just upgrade my pro pioneer drives! However, the pro pioneer appears to have died and I think it's the raid controller causing things not to boot.....
X-RAID uses RAID-5 by default. So you would have to disable X-RAID, backup your data, destroy the volume, create a RAID-6 volume (best to call this "data" - no quotes) and then re-enable X-RAID.

If you haven't done the install yet, this can be done quite quickly. You don't have to wait for the initial X-RAID volume to be fully built / synced. As soon as you get through the initial setup you can disable XRAID and destroy the volume.
I think if you have 5 disks installed, you can also switch to flexraid and then add the last disk for redundancy (with no data loss).
Yea my drives are still enroute so I have the opportunity to decide the best option and set it once right from the beginning!
