X-raid vs. X-raid2
Should I consider updating my 3 current NAS to use X-RAID2 (see sig below)? OK. From the gracious help of Vanderwerwe and StephenB, I have brought back online my old Duo-v2. I chose to ?format/char...
@fastfwd & StephenB,
I am truly shocked by your shares. I thought I have gracefully closed this thread. I suppose not.
Yes, I do know that a NAS should keep track of 'parity.' I just sorta believe that the device and its' f/w just does this 'magic' in real time. I do so appreciate the parity tutorial, but, I'm lost as to how it fits into my thread. I mean no disrespect at all. I learned 'parity' some 40+ years ago at Xerox Corp. The training was 4 days. On the fifth day, the instructor calmly explained the all 'modern' devices I would ever see would do all of my 4 days of calculations just blindingly quick. SO. I quickly forgot about it; but, in nas-speak, I realize it is important still. Fine. I know and accept that parity is required to recreate lost data. That is the magic. And I spent 40+ years recovering 'lost' data with the help of 'parity.' I do so know of its' importance.
BTW, I have now re-checked my other NAS and find that both of them are XRAID2. so I have nothing else to do and/or worry about. Now I can re-focus on how to do backups on a ReadyNAS!
I do so appreciate both of your shares. Fast FWD, you dragged me back some 40yrs. :rofl:
No harm, no foul! The journey was actually fun!
