Hello Everyone. I am new to data, I bought a Synology NAS DS423+ with 2 HDD 8GB each,
I am planning to do the following for budget constraints and setup my nas with SHR config.
I have a very first question as I see in the raid calculator that I can compare SHR or SHR-2 and SHR-2 provides much much less space than the first one. What is the explanation behind ?
Second point : I have two drives that are 4GB each that I am planning to use for the remaining two bays. Should I do something and add them or wipe data before ?
Then in the future I might be willing to upgrade to 2x8GB and 2x12GB but 12GB drives being a bit expensive I would do this way :
Next month : replace a 4GB drive by a 12GB.
In 3 months: replace the remaining 4GB drive by a 12GB.
Does that make sense to you or should I process differently ?
Thanks.
