Number of Disks per Vol- RAID Level ume

Can I add a disk to for data protection?

1

RAID 1

Yes. (Additional disk provides redundancy.)

2

RAID 1

No. (Volume protection is already redundant.)

2 or more

RAID 0

No. (RAID 0 does not offer protection.)

3 or more

RAID 5

Yes. (Additional disk provides dual redundancy and con-

 

 

verts the volume to RAID 6.)

4 or more (even number)

RAID 10

No. (Volume protection is already redundant.)

4 or more

RAID 6

No. (Volume is already protected with dual redundancy.)

Disks added to a Flex-RAID volume can be used only for protection. They cannot be used for storage (horizontal expansion). If you want to add a disk for increased storage capacity, you must do one of the following:

•Create a volume using the added disks (see Create and Encrypt a Volume on page 28).

•Change the RAID level (see Change to a Different Flex-RAID Level on page 25).

•Switch to X-RAID (see Change from Flex-RAID to X-RAIDon page 24).

To add a protection to a Flex-RAID volume:

1.Add a disk to your ReadyNAS storage system.

For more information about how to add a disk to your system, see the hardware manual for your system, which is available at http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.

2.Select System > Volumes.

The new disk is displayed in the enclosure graphic and is colored black.

3.Select the new disk from the enclosure graphic.

4.Click the Add Parity button next to a volume that allows or requires additional protection.

A pop-up screen appears and asks you to confirm your decision.

5.Click the Yes button.

Your data protection is increased in the background while you continue to use your storage system.
