Hello,
I have just set up my very first NAS. Right now it is made up of 1Tb parity drive and 1Tb data drive (+ 500Gb cache). However, I have several smaller drives that I'd like to add to my array, 2 x 300Gb drives. But since my parity drive is only 1Gb, I know that I cannot expand my array. I would need to increase my parity drive, but since my biggest drive is 1Tb, and it is already used for parity, I cannot do it.
My understanding is quite limited, and from what I read, I cannot have one parity made up of 2 drives: 1Tb + 300Gb, then same for data drives: 1Tb + 300Gb. Am I right? If so, can I achieve my goal somehow?
Thanks in advance
