gillmacca 17 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Seem a bit confused with my new server, previous one was ReadyNAS NV+, which was easy to set-up. Just got myself a QNAP TS-451+. Disk 1(which is ssd), that will contain the QNAP OS, Emby, and some other apps. Disk 2 will be for TV Disk 3 for Movies Disk 4 for everything else I want to use maximum storage space, no redundancy (everything is backup up to external hard drives). If for example, the tv Hard drive fails, I want to be able to take it out, put a new hard drive it, and restore from my backup. At the moment, I only have the 2 hard drives (3rd one coming tomorrow) Under storage space, it says static single volumes, and then lists my HD's, but if I select manage, it mentions raid group 1 Is this set up correctly, for what I want? If not, how should I be setting it up (step-by-step guide, if possible) Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legallink 187 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 This might be better asked in a QNAP forum, as they will have more expertise with the QNAP software, but the minute it mentions a Raid group, is the minute that whatever drives are associated with that group will be viewed as 1 drive, not separate drives. If you have a 4 drive Qnap and you want the 4 drives viewed separately, you should disable any sense of Raid, as Raid is intended to duplicate files so you have drive fault tolerance (aka a drive crashes, you put in a new drive and it just rebuilds the old drive).
