Xraid2 dual redundant vs FlexRaid 6?
What's the pro's and con's of each? They both seems to be identical if Dual redundant is selected.
You are correct, once you have gone to xraid with dual redundancy.
The advantage of xraid with OS4 (which I assume you are using) is that you can start with single redundancy when your volume is small and change up to dual redundancy later. With flexraid you would have to start from scratch in order to move from raid 5 to raid 6.
Unfortunately this advantage has been removed from OS6 where one cannot easily move from single to dual redundancy.
