jmcguire525 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 If expansion isn't a concern how will a 2x10TB configuration compare to a 4x4TB? Will the two 10TBs act as a raid1 mirror where there is no parity calculation, meaning if first drive fails it will not need to be rebuilt with calculations and instead be a complete copy, or is the parity drive always calculated with expansion in mind? Would a mirror have faster write speeds without a cache drive than a 4 drive array? Quote Link to comment

If I'm understanding correctly it will automatically set it as a mirror as long as I have Data1+Parity1. In this situation Turbo Write would be of no benefit to me, but if I chose to go with 4x4TB it would speed up write times a good bit? Quote Link to comment
