2 disk to 3 disks - NV+ v2

[aaronsalkeld]

I am looking into buying a ReadyNAS NV+ v2 and to keep the initial cost of this purchase down, I am looking at only buying 2 disks for now but then adding more at a later date.

So if I was to install these 2 initial disks and then add a 3rd later, will it change the RAID from 0/1 to 5? What requirements do I need to be able to complete this. I will have a clean system but only 2 disks as first.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

If you use the default X-RAID2 it will do this.

Have you heard that new models have been released. You may wish to consider the new model, the RN104

Thanks mdgm for your super quick reply.

I will now look into getting this.

Regarding the RN104, can't find much about this model. I'm in Australia and it's not out as yet I don't think.

Cheers

I'm in Australia too. The new models aren't available down here yet. Hopefully they'll be available down here within the next month or two
