Question about adding drives to a NAS.
#1
Hi all,

I'm looking at purchasing a QNAP 412 (4-bay) NAS.

Initially I only have the money for that and a 2TB hard drive (Hitachi 2TB 6b/s)

So this would'nt run in RAID, however, when I add another drive, is there any way of then making it RAID?
Or would I need to reformat and make them both RAID from the get-go?
I ask because if the latter is the case I'm going to need to be able to move all the data to another drive while I make them both RAID
Another problem this would bring up is when I get the third and fourth drives...

Thanks for your help in advance,

Khaelas
