I just purchased a new NAS TVS-872XT for our graphic design studio (15 employees). The specs of the box are below. I was wondering if you could help walk through the initial setup of RAID / Snapshots / SSD over-provisioning / Volume / QTier / etc. I would like to avoid setting up the box incorrectly out of the gate before I begin to migrate our current NAS box data over to the new box. The current QNAP doesn’t have snapshots / SSD / etc.

So the NAP NAS does not directly support removing a drive from an existing RAID 5 setup? The only way to achieve this is to rebuild the RAID from scratch? making a backup of 6 tb to another drive ?

Very helpful. I have a QNAP TS-431KX with four 16TB disks. It configured perfectly in RAID5. I heard that is was impossible to create one such a large pool. But it worked perfectly. Your video clearly showed how to do it. So now I have one 42.7 TB RAID5 volume that is mapped in my OS as a NAS drive. Perfect! Thank you for this video and keep up the great work!????

3:30 – can I set a “warm spare” drive? Drive that would be installed in one of bays but spun off, waiting for another drive failure? I tried hot spare drive but it spins all the time with other drives utilizing its power on hours for nothing…

Hi there. My company just bought a TS-251+ to store WIndows Server daily backups, we have two 4TB disks on a RAID 1 setup but I have a question regarding the volume creation process…in this scenario is it worth to create a thick volume or a standart RAID 1 volume? I created a 3TB thick volume and just one day after it’s allready complaining about space for the snapshots?? I’m not quite getting how this LUN thing works (it seems it works on unallocated space? that’s it? because if I try to use all space available it starts firing warnings about the space). Can someone please explain this to me? Is there a point on using a thick volume for a backup porpuse scenario? Thanks…
