What is the default X-RAID?
Hey everyone, I just picked up a RN104 and setting it up right now, but had a question regarding the RAID setup. I have 2x2TB drives. RAID is completely new to me, but ideally I plan on using ...
1. Yes. However if you add an additional disk using X-RAID it will automatically expand to a three disk RAID-5 array
2. For that you would need to disable X-RAID. You can't pick and choose whether part of a disk is used for e.g. a RAID-1 volume. However you can create e.g. a separate volume for each disk.
What RAID level you choose it is important that you backup your data. RAID-1 is great, but it doesn't protect you against multiple disk failures, fire, flood, theft etc.
