ReadyNAS 104 - Max DIsk Capacity
Hi, I am currently runnin latest version of ReadyNAS OS (v6.9.0) on ReadyNAS 104 and it's running on X-Raid with 4x4 TB HDDs. I want to know what is the maximum capacity supported by ReadyNAS 104. Right now I have 12 TB(10.9 TB usable) Is it possible to upgrade to 4x8 TB HDDs? Will I get 24 TB or will I run into issues?Incorrect Capacity for Time Machine on my RN2120 v2
I can't seem to find a solution anywhere, at least no posts with working links. The unit has about 8TB usable storage. I had 5GB reserved for a private Time Machine, which was nearly filled up, along with 3 for the shared Time Machine. About 5TB were used for the Time Machine and other items. Now, if I navigate to Time Machine settings, it says only 3TB are available, so the 5TB is showing up as used data, when it's supposed to be the Time Machine. I tried updating FW, rebooting, but the software won't recognize that Time Machine data as being Time Machine data, so it'll only let me use the remaining 3. Time Machine on the iMac shows that 0 of 3TB are available for backups, but before this, it said 500GB of 5TB were available. It's annoying me and I really don't want to disable/enable Time Machine to wipe my existing sparbundle file since I will likely need to access the old time machine backups in the future. Any ideas anyone? I appreciate it!855Views0likes2CommentsReadyNas 3220 OS6.2.4 w/ESXI 6.0
I have a ReadyNAS3220 that is low on space. It currently has 12 4TB drives in a RAID6 configuration. Can I add larger drives to this WITHOUT data loss or rebuilding the array? I have found information that I can for other models of Netgear NAS, but nothing specific to this model. I am running the latest firmware.4.7KViews0likes4CommentsHow to calculate maximum available volume capacity with X-RAID and various HDDs?
We bought our first RN104 a couple of years ago with two 3 (2,7) TB disks in RAID 1 mode. After a while we added two 4 (3,6) TB disks and continued using RAID 1, giving us a total capacity (data + snapshots + free space) as expected of 6,3 TB. Last year we bought a second RN104 with two 4 (3,6) TB disks, using X-RAID in RAID5 mode by default, and got a total capacity of 3,6 TB. Now after adding two 8 (7,3) TB disks, we have 14,95 TB total capacity, smothelessly configured by automatic. This is perfect, isn't it? :smileyvery-happy: As we need storage more than speed, a greater capacity could not be achieved with security for a single disk failure, I guess. The reason why I am writing here is because the FAQ und online docs are in many parts confusing, as options have changed with firmware upgrades and some docs refer to old versions… so there were Flex-RAID, X-RAID, X-RAID II, but RN104 with latest firmware 6.6.0 only has one button: X-RAID on or off. X-RAID seems to be the perfect choice for most scenarios though. But I'm not sure whether it will make sense to reconfigure the first RN104 to X-RAID. I guess we could gain only 1 TB in capacity, because it will use the 4 TB disks for data (3,6*2=7,2) and both 3 TB disks for parity, actually wasting 2 TB, correct? Any ideas how to get the maximum of our HDDs in two ReadyNAS 104?Solved3.2KViews0likes2Comments
ReadyNas 104 maximum expansion
Hi evryone, today is a second day with my ReadyNas 104 and I'm very satisfied of this product ! I have one question on the maximum volume capacity to 16TB with the new firmware. The best solution with x-raid is 2x 5TB and 2x 6TB hard drive? so as have 15TB? Now my ReadyNas has 2x 3TB WD RED and I want considering the best volume upgrade by future. Thanks, GiusepeSolved3.9KViews0likes5Comments
