within My Cloud OS there is no limitation for iSCSI LUN size - expect your maximum capacity of the RAID array.
You can setup a LUN for iSCSI to use the whole available capacity. Doing this, please note that you cannot use as NAS anymore as there will be not capacity left for NAS file sharing.
Hello,
That’s good to know, thanks. I don’t need any shares. I’m backing up Hyper-V VMs using Veeam, across a WAN link to a HP Microserver. It needs more space and this seems a good way to do it.
Can you just confirm that it will take the WD Red 4TB drives and I will get 10.8TB of storage in a RAID 5 config.
4 x 4 TB (= 16 TB brut) in RAID 5 are 3 x 4 TB for data and 1 x 4 TB for paritty == a bit below 12 TB net capacity in use. “12 TB net” are calculated in decimal, not binary!
So, yes, you should expext your 10.8 TB being avalaibale in a 4 x 4 TB RAID 5 array.
