RN526X with 6x 4TB WD Red PRO. What should I set up this time, my 3rd readynas.
This was a bit unscheduled since I was thinking to just upgrade my pro pioneer drives! However, the pro pioneer appears to have died and I think it's the raid controller causing things not to boot.... Anyhow. So I await my rn526x tomorrow to hopefully see my pro pioneer data to pull off the drives. Also I've found a good enough deal for me and bought 6x 4TB WD Red Pro drives. Historically, I always max out all the bays and never change it. My readynas NV+ still runs as a double back up of important files from my pro pioneer. The pro pioneer was a huge upgrade from my NV+ and I maxed out the drive bays with 6x2TB RE4-GPs... Both times I just went with xraid cause at the time all the talk about best flexibitily and what not I guess. I've been reading some topics here but feel I need to ask for myself :) This time, what should I do... don't bother with xraid? go straight to raid 10? There seems to be some controversy in the forums about raid10 speeds but not sure if it's still applicable today. It's highly unlikely I'll be playing with individual drive sizes, I like to set it and forget it... I was going to replace all the drives in the pro pioneer but the box unexpectedly died. I use it for storage and I while I did dabble with iscsi on the pro pioneer for VMs I didn't really stick with it and opted for raid 0 arrays on local machine. Would probably like to revisit iscsi and hyper-v again on this new nas. Thanks for your thoughts.
RN104 has 3 1tb drives, but only 1tb of usable same
Based on the space calculator tool I expect to have 2 gb? Restarting the machine makes the drive green for a while but eventually it goes back off again. I've tried pulling and reinserting the drive while it was powered on. I initially started with the 2 1 terabyte drives earlier this week, and added another 1 tb drive a couple days after but I haven't been able to get it to expand with more space yet. After rebooting, it will resync for a while then the third drive will go gray again: I can provide logs, but I'm not sure if there is any personally identfiable info in them? Anyone know if they are safe to post publicy to a site like mediafire? I do have some experience with linux systems, and I may be able to do some further debugging later this weekend once I figure out how to get ssh access to the system. Thanks to anyone who spends time helping me with this!!
