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 but simply replace with a new disk. For the 3 no disks, in the event of one of the disks failure, rebuilding the raid and vol. 1 should theoretically be faster and easier than if I use 4 no. disks in vol 1 and 2, which would restore all files, including downloaded movies which are not important data to me.
I wonder if my understanding is correct? Or is there a better alternative setup which suits my usage better?
Thx.
