I have a 2 disc Raid 1 system. I know it writes to both HDDs but what disc does it read from? Always 1, always 2 or alternates ? (assuming system knows none of the hdds are bad). If I suspected some files were corrupted on one HDD, is there a way I can force it to either read from 1...

It appears that WD has stepped away from EFRX/EFAX and now offers a new naming convention for retail NAS (red) drives. For example, WDBMMA0040HNC-NRSN ... where the highlighted digits represent the nominal capacity. Internal Drives for Retail | Western Digital | Western Digital Any word on...

Hello I have a problem. Tried to get help from Synology, but they replied that it is out of their range. I have changed old 2TB HDD to brand new 4TB. Made exact copy and put inside DS (211+). Everything works fine, but there is only 2TB available to use on 4TB disk. Old HDD was MBR disk and so...
