Like mix and match 2TB with 1.5TB with 200GB? Must I use Ethernet as the connection to my PC or can I use USB? ( speed of transfer is not an issue) Frank Filippone Red735i at earthlink.net Put at least 2 disks in and use X-RAID (this is on an NV+). It will create a RAID 1 (mirror) with 2 (i.e lose 50% of storage), when you add a 3rd disk, either originally or after a while, this will expand to a RAID 5 (striped with redundancy) and you will get N-1 storage, i.e adding the 3rd HDD will double your storage (3 disks total so 2 disks of storage). If you set it to RAID 1 then it will always be that with no option to expand when more disks are added. john > -----Original Message----- > > I am about ready to (finally) purchase one of these babies, but first > some questions.... > Hoping some of you out there have experience.... > > Which RAID format should I use?
