Hi there,
I really love your videos. They have helped me set up my 2 bay QNAP and Synology devices, so thank you.
However, I really need some advice about the setup of an 8 bay QNAP I have just bought, along with 8 x 4Tb WQ Reds.
My main concern that I don't want to stripe the disks. I don't need speed, and I want to be able to access the contents of the disks were I to have a hardware failure, so I can stick any drive in a caddy and read the disks, but at the same time, having a mirror of the disks for redundancy.
I'm thinking that my solution would be something like 4 x 4Tb disks mirrored with the other 4 x 4Tb drives.
Would I have just one storage pool and 2 volumes?, or do I create 2 pools and mirror those?
Also, do I set the drives up as a JBOD?
I hope you can point me in the right direction, or maybe let me know how I can go about getting this information? I am a home user with a bit of knowledge. (Dangerous). Mainly backing up vast amounts of photographs, and negative scans.
Thank you so much,
Stephen Donoghue.
