removing netgear creadynas disk formatting

Maybe you next would like to upgrade to 4 x 4TB drives that will give you a total redundant capacity of 10.9TB. Now, 5.43TB as in this case might not be a lot, and depending on your usage, you might after a while get a need for more space. (ReadyNAS have a great 'RAID Calculator' that will allow you to calculate various configurations: ) So in this case the total storage would be around 5.43TB with 4 x 2TB harddrives. have 4 x 2TB harddisks in such a 4-bay system setup in Netgears X-Raid system, I would get a total capacity of 3 of the 4 drives (with a small overhead). This simplicity alone is not the case with many of the NAS systems out there, and trust me, disks will fail !!.Īnother easy task is when it comes to disk upgrades. One of the things I like the most with the Netgear ReadyNAS servers is that when a drive fails, you get a notification (if you configured such alerts), and can then without turning off the server swap the faulty drive with a new drive, and viola, after a few hours, the system is redundant again. The reason being the stability and simplicity of managing these, as I have detailed below. I must have installed somewhere in the region of 20-30 such ReadyNAS servers over the years, and have been extremely happy with these throughout the last 14 years. I purchased my first 4-bay Netgear ReadyNAS back in 2008, and have since been using and recommending Netgear ReadyNAS devices to several people. I then moved on to dual-drive NAS from Iomega (for redundance), and then I moved to 4-bay NAS servers from Netgear. I personally started off with small single drive NAS servers from the likes of Maxtor and WD. I have for years been a big fan of NAS servers for use in home and small to medium size offices. til the last one where it stopped booting because of something went wrong with the boot. Worked all fine many updates came and had no problems at all. Note:the the Box has a build in USB Disk with 128MB size and this disk used for /boot I upgraded the CPU and I used the ReadyNAS OS 6 (which is Debian based) which uses Linux RAID and Btrfs. I did a hack the box (basically it is a normal PC with Intel CPU) I have NetGear ReadyNAS Business Pro with 6 Place for 6 Disks
