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...
Hi Guys,
Just in case anyone was wondering the first stage of the upgrade went perfectly.
Old layout:
Drive 1: 2TB Xraid2 - WD2002FAEX
Drive 2: 2TB Xraid2 - WD2002FAEX
Drive 3: 2TB Xraid2 - WD2002FAEX
Drive 4: Empty
Drive 5: Empty
Drive 6: Empty
(6TB Capacity + NO Redundancy)
New layout:
Drive 1: 2TB Xraid2 - WD2002FAEX
Drive 2: 2TB Xraid2 - WD2002FAEX
Drive 3: 2TB Xraid2 - WD2002FAEX
Drive 4: 3TB Xraid2 - WD30EFRX
Drive 5: Empty
Drive 6: Empty
(6TB Capacity + With drive Redundancy)
So basically the new 3TB drive gave me drive resilience, and I was able to do a complete factory reset as well. And despite the heat we have been getting the unit has been running perfectly.
