ReadyNAS NVX Drive failure and replacement options
I have an NVX with 4x 2TB Seagate drives, configured as a single volume using X-RAID2. It reports Online, X-RAID2, 4 disks, 37% of 5548 GB used. Earlier today I got " Thu Sep 1 00:01:42 MDT 2016 Disk failure detected. Following a power supply problem a few months ago I acquired a 2nd NVX to use as backup. I has 4x 1TB Seagate drives. It's so far unused. By Coincidence today amazon delivered 4x 2TB Seagate drives for the backup NVX and I was going to set-up rsync to backup one to the other. So, short term I can take one of the proposed backup drives and plug it into the primary and buy another 2TB drive. Alternatively, since I don't need the full 5TB capacity, it occurs to me I could ut a 1TB drive in the primary NVX; then build the backup NVX with 1x 1TB and 3x 2TB and be left with a spare 3x 1TB and 1x 2TB drive ready for future drive failure. Make sense or am I missing something important? Both NVX are already running the latest/last RAIDiator-x86 Version: 4.2.28Solved2.9KViews0likes2Comments
