Readynas 3220 - What is recommended volume maintenance schedule (scrub, balance, defrag)
We recently got a new 12 drive Readynas 3220 loaded with (12) WD RE 4TB drives and are moving about 2 TB of data to it. The unit is currently on the 6.4.0 firmware but will be upgraded shortly. This will be the main file server for our architectural office so will be used for storage of Revit and AutoCAD files as well as the usual office type files. Given that we are donig more with Revit (large files) and more rederings we anticipate that the total amount of data will grow over time. I want to make sure that the unit is maintained properly to ensure a good long life without trouble. I've read in a post from several years ago that scrubbing was only recommended a couple of times a year but did not see specific recommendations for defrag and balancing. What is the currently recommended schedules for scrubs, defrags, and balancing for this unit in our type of use? Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise.

3220 Horizontal Upgrade Planned
Just wanted to make sure I'm reading the manual correctly. We launced a 3220 box wtih 8 out of 12 drives populated, each drive is a 4TB red and the box has had some traffic with minor file loading and 1 LUN for a domain backup. We're going to migrate the box to 12 drives but if I'm reading the manual correctly our Raid-6 configuration will need to be migrated to an X-Raid config before we can add drives... correct? Is there an actual procedure doc that outlines the correct way to add drives? Power on, Power Off? Raid-6 to X-Raid before or after... looking for guideance. 3220 is at release 6.2.4 (Current release) Thanks, Miguel
