It's more common to just specify a network path. These days, drive letters are not really required, but you may need them for legacy software, etc.
#Best nas hard drives 2018 windows
From your Windows PC, you're able to attach to each share and assign it a drive letter. Each share looks at a different part of the filesystem on the array. and does an array basicly work like a normal "drive letter" as far as browsing folders goes? I hope for some good input, as I know nothing about raids or NAS until I recently started reading up on it to get one it's important for me that I get save storage so that a failed drive can be replaced without losing my data.Ĭamaxide wrote.and does an array basicly work like a normal "drive letter" as far as browsing folders goes? No. Would I then need to set up two arrays? or can I split this up on folder-level on a typical NAS? Also - which raids can have additional drives added to them later? and is it important, or is it simply better to add a new array if I need more space later? I look at 8, 10 or 12 TB drives, so I'd also like to know if there are any limitations to Array sizes.
from reading I find that * Raid 1 is only for two drives, and gives 50% storage? * Raid 10 can run over 8 drives and will ensure one drive can fail, and give 50% storage? * Raid 5 can run over 8 drives and gives 7 of 8 drives storage - where any one drive can fail and be replaced? * Raid 6 can run over 8 drives and gives 6 of 8 drives storage - where any two drives can fail and be replaced? I want to be able to have two locations, so I can store "open" files on one location and private files which only I can access on another. I want some input on which RAID type I should chose, and what the various benefits are. I'm looking to get a NAS for safe storage, and I'm looking for a 8disk setup.
