Wich Raid and with or without Hotspare - Enquiries - 10-27-2023
Hi Guys,
i have a Qnap TS-664 NAS and currently 3 4TB Drives in RAID5.
Now i am planing on expanding the drives and can't decide wich of the following would be the best way to go:
All with 6 Drives:
- Raid 5 + Hotspare(s)
- Raid 6 + Hotspare
- Raid 6
Thanks in advance!
Benjamin

With smaller capacity drives rebuild times are short. So I would go for RAID5 + hot spare.
