December 7, 20196 yr I'm in the process of adding a new HDD to my array and I noticed the option for "Parity 2". What is the purpose of doing that? Sorry, I looked in the manual and forums but couldn't find the advantage of using this. I'd rather add the new HDD as more storage space, but does adding a second parity drive somehow improve performance? I already have a SSD cache drive and I'm adding a second one of those right now as well...
December 7, 20196 yr Community Expert Parity 2 and Parity 1 combine to provide protection for failure of up to two disks without data loss. The use of either Parity 1 or Parity 2 provides for the loss of one disk without data loss.
