Xraid2 and HDD Upgrades
Hi Guys, I have 2 ReadyNAS units, one is an Ultra 6 Plus and the second is the Ultra 6 Pro. Both have 3x 2TB WD Black WD2002FAEX in an Xraid2 format (2x2TB = 4TB + 1x 2TB Redundancy) Current la...

I never knew about that 8TB expansion limit, is that a limit of the Unit or Xraid2? and as the first HDD added to the "life" of the volume was 2TB does that mean my limit is 2TB + 8TB = 10TB limit? and is the Redundancy included as an expansion?

Ah that is good news, the way I saw it describe made it sound like drive two was my redundacy, and not by having it split across all the HDD. So I should be able to keep my resilience, simply by adding my 3TB drive. So if I have this right, by adding 1x 3TB should increase my capcity (regardless of where it is put) by 2TB and when I add my second 3TB HDD I get the full 3TB?
