920+ shr - Enquiries - 06-08-2023
Hi I’m new to my nas and feel like a noob, I have the 920+ and have 2 18tb hard drives to go in it if I use shr will I lose the capacity of one drive for redundancy or can I use the full storage of both drives and still have redundancy
Sorry for the noob question

No, SHR will use one drive for mirroring the other drive. This is how parity works. Having 3 drives would give you more storage space compared to only 2.
