Hello Community,
I will be purchasing two hard drives and using them in RAID1 with my Zyxel NSA-220 plus NAS. Here it says the maximum storage capacity support for the device is 4 TBs.
So, does that mean:
a) I can fit a couple of 4 TB drives in it and use them in RAID1(the usable capacity is 4 TB in total)
-or-
b) Still the largest drives can be the 2 TB ones as in the case of RAID0 or JBOD.
Just one more thing:
I know there's a lot going on about WD Red or Black for NAS. I had actually convinced myself on WD Red drives as they are built specifically for NAS but then I've seen people commending the Black drives for their performance. Reliability is of first priority in my case but still I'd be glad having your consideration before purchasing the drives.
Thank you..
