    NAS 920+ : Set up 4 disks in SHR vs 3 disk in SHR + 1 single disk

    I’ve set up my 920+ as follows: 3 no. 4T disks in SHR (vol 1) for important data + 1 no. single disk (vol 2) for downloaded movies. My logic is that I’m not too bother about losing the downloaded movies in the event this single harddisk fails. I will not need to restore the movie files in vol 2...

    1019+ on the way. Planning set up. Should I use SHR or Raid 6? Any reason not to have just 1 volume?

    Hi there... I am excitedly preparing for my new toy to arrive and want to be able to get it up and running ASAP after it arrives. I have watched some setup vids and there's a choice to make between 2 disc safety options on SHR (Quick set up) and Raid 6. I will have 5x 8TB, with 2 disc safety =...

    Question Cannot Expand SHR Storage Pool

    Hi, Following a critical HDD failure at the weekend, I decided that I would setup my DS415Play again with SHR rather than just single storage pools on each of the 4 disks that are installed. When I originally set up the DS415, I was testing various packages such as Plex so didn't pay much...

    Question Adding last 2 discs to 4-bay NAS

    I ordered the last 2 WD red discs (finally) for my DS418play to fill up my NAS. So, I just add them one-by-one and that's it? What about RAID? It's ok to leave SHR? Thank you for your help.

    Question Raid type for RS1619xs+

    I’m looking to pickup a RS1619xs+ for my business. I recently purchased a DS718+ for a client of mine, where I’m using SHR1 for raid. I like the SHR raid type because you can later add bigger drives and then expand the volume. With the xs models SHR is not available due to the fact this is...
