With two 6 TB drives in my new EX2 Ultra system, I was able to set up 4TB as RAID 1 Volume 1 for safety. The remaining disk space I set up as RAID 0 Volume 2 which then also holds 4 TB for speed. Will this config cause any problems. Does anyone know a method to mirror Volume 1 onto Volume 2 to get both speed and safety? If this is a dangerous setup, should I convert Volume 2 to a 2 TB RAID 1 (I’ve stored nothing on this volume yet). Thanks for any feedback.
Just a note" My OS5 system is only 2 weeks old. After the auto update of my firmware last Thursday, the Disk 1 status light turned red. The interface indicated the RAID was good, but storage indicated Disk 1 was bad. I ran a complete disk check. The disk check listed Disk 1 is good. I suspected that the update had not restarted the system. I restarted the system. Voila: the red status light turned blue; the system reported the RAID as good; and storage reported both drives as good. If you’ve had a recent firmware update and get an error, you might try rebooting the system before running all the diagnostics.
