Swapping from Raid 5 to Raid 0..easy?
Have just set up my Readynas 104 with 3 3tb and 1 2tb disks and would like to be able to access the full capacity of the disks which as I understand means swapping to Raid 0. Is this easy or would ...
Yes this means raid0 or better with a RN104, JBOD. raid0 is meant to be faster by using several disks, but JBOD copies on one disk at a time, still giving you the full volume size and with decent disk you will still get the full speed of the NAS, but if one disk fails you lose only what's on that disk. With raid0 you lose it all.
Anyway, you have to backup your data to another physical device to be protected from disk failure but also theft, fire, flood...
This is easy to do but this will require to erase the data I think. Either doing a factory default with the smallest disk only, then disabling x-raid2 and adding the other disks and choosing extend the volume, or by deleting the volume and recreating it.
