July 31, 201213 yr Hi, quick question... if for example I have 3 *2TB drives. I then have a share called Movies and in there is just one folder full of all my movies. Would the maximum sizeof this shared folder be 2TB as I'm not splitting my movies into sub folders ? Thanks,
July 31, 201213 yr Assuming you mean three data drives in addition to your parity drive... If that "Movies" user-share folder exists on all three of your data drives, then you can have as much as 6TB of movies in the \\tower\Movies user-share, even without sub-folders. (If you have 2 data drives + parity, for a total of three physical drives, then you are limited to the space on the data drives... 4TB, but it can all show as a single directory to windows as \\tower\Movies)
July 31, 201213 yr Author ah thanks for that. Was reading up on split level options, and thought if you have too many files in one folder it would fill up and stop working. So for example it would be like so: Disk 0: Parity Disk 1: movies\a.avi ---> g.avi Disk 2: movies\h.avi ---> z.avi And when browsing from a Pc it would just be \\tower\movies\ a.avi ---> z.avi
