Hi, thanks for the great videos and information provided via YouTube.
Am on the cusp of buying a synolgy nas. Budget does not permit me to fully populate each bay from day one so that will occur in stages. To start I will be using what I have already so the question is....
If I install a mix of drives (1x 12TB & 2 x 8TB drives) I know that I can create a raid 5 array based on the smallest drives (8TB). That would in effect leave 4TB. unused on the 14TB drive. Can I use this 4TB in any way, a separate pool, logical drive or what?
Hope that makes sense.
Thank you
