    Multiple disks with a single volume without RAID

    It looks like I am currently doing it the same way, and for the same reasons. I only have 2 drives in my DS414 right now. They are setup as individual volumes and time backup from one to the other. I have been trying to plan for when I get the other 2 drives which sort of prompted this...

    Multiple disks with a single volume without RAID

    Yes you can raid 0 more than 2 drives. I know raid 0 would provide all available storage, but it has the problem of taking down the whole array if a drive dies, similar to JBOD I believe. What I was after was having the benefit of multiple disks appearing as a single logical volume, but if a...

    Multiple disks with a single volume without RAID

    So realistically my only option for presenting all of my media as a single volume, instead of multiples like Movies1, Movies2, Movies3, etc would be to use RAID?

    Questions about home network NAS setup

    That was my feeling as well and why I believe I should probably have 2 NAS units. I guess my main question is, if I use 2 NAS units is there any point in using any form of RAID in the primary NAS unit since it will always be backed up by the second NAS unit?

    Questions about home network NAS setup

    If I go with just one NAS unit how much of a concern is there that the unit itself will fail and potentially take all the data with it? That is really my only reason for thinking about getting the second unit to act as a backup to the primary. I know the RAID 1 would provide the redundancy I...

    Questions about home network NAS setup

    Hello, I have been trying to figure out the best way to add a NAS solution to my home network. The main goal of my NAS is to act as a centralized file server for my various PC's, HTPC's, tablets, etc. Primarily serving up media for the HTPC's, but also as a backup/extended storage for the...
