Flex-Raid - NETGEAR RNDP6620-100NAS - ReadyNAS Pro RNDP6620 Business Edition Software Manual

Flex-RAID

Flex-RAID technology utilizes the industry-standard RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 6. To reconfigure
the default Flex-RAID Volume C, split it into multiple volumes, specify a different RAID level,
or specify a larger reserved space for snapshots, and reconfigure your volume. See
Flex-RAID on page 46 for more information about volumes.
Flex-RAID advantages include:
• The default volume can be deleted and re-created, with or without snapshot reserved
space.
• Hot spare disk is supported.
• Volume expansion without data loss is supported.
• Full volume management is available. You can create RAID level 0, 1, 5, or 6
volumes, specify the volume size, delete a disk from a volume, assign a hot spare,
and so on.
• Multiple volumes are supported, each with a different RAID level, snapshot schedule,
and disk quota definition.
• Each disk can be replaced, one by one, then rebuilt; after the last disk is replaced,
another data volume using the newly added capacity can be configured.
