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 geared more towards enterprise. With that being said I’m looking for today’s best practice of raid types, in a 4 bay setup. I’m looking to have a two disk fault tolerance as well. It used to be that raid 5 was the go to type, but that has since changed as these devices added other types of raid support.
