RN102 setting Raid 0 to get 1+1 or 1&1
Just got a RN102 and would like to set up the two disks as either Raid 0 across both or two seperate network drives.
Currently RN102 is building some Raid 1 setup with a few hours to go. Can I stop this process without corrupting anything, if so how?
How do I then go about initiating the Raid 0 process ?
Regards

You can interrupt it, as long as you haven't put any data on it it will be OK. If you switch off Xraid and setup the volume you want as below, it will interrupt the build anyway.
To set up anything other than Xraid you need to switch off Xraid in the GUI, it's on the Volume tab.
Then select new volume to set up whatever you want.
I would definitely go for 1 volume on each drive. If you have a spanned volume then a single disk failure causes the whole volume's data to be lost.
Remember to consider how you are going to backup these volumes.
Thank you for your reply.
The RN102 is set in Raid 1 and I cannot get the syncing to stop even after switching from X-Raid to Flex-raid. What do I do next?
I'm running Raidar under OSX10.8.5 and Safari.
Switch to flexraid and destroy the volume.
Then create a new one in the mode that you want. Ideally call one of the volumes data.
Like Vandermerwe, I don't recommend creating a single RAID-0 volume that spans more than one disk. It is too fragile.
Found the hidden settings button on the left hand graphic, ran the destroy function and have setup two seperate drives.
Will try getting the shares etc organised...
Just to say thank you to you both for your help, the drives are now visible to all machines on the network.
