AS3104T - disks configuration

[tomino]

Hi,

I have question about disks/volumes configuration.
My current setup is 2x (4TB) HDDs in JBOD mode.
And now I`m thinking to buy additional disk (let say 8TB) and change disk volumes to RAID 1 (2x 4TB disks) + 8TB single drive/JBOD and mount RAID1 volume as a dir (name is not important now) in nas tree folder so I can decide which data I want to have protected on RAID volume.

Thanks

JBOD mode cannot migrate to the other RAID configuration. You'll need to backup your data externally, then delete JBOD volume and create RAID-1 volume.

yea, I know this, but thanks for reminding.
I want to know if I can mix "singledrive"/JBOD volume on 1xHDD with RAID1 from another 2HDDs (and this RAID volume can be mounted as special folder, so when I copy data to NAS i can decide if I want them protected or not)

What do you mean "mix"? You can actually create 2 volumes: one is JBOD/single mode and the other is RAID-1 mode. Of course, you can decide which volume you want to copy to/from.

OK thanks. This is what I want to know

Hi, I've got two single disk volumes (I'm not currently worried about data protection)
Disk / Volume 1 is an 500gB SSD
Disk / Volume 2 is a 4tB HDD

Ultimately I want to map a W11 drive letter to Vol 1 and a different drive letter to Vol 2 and treat them as separate drives

I want to put my PLEX app and metadata libraries on Vol 1 (the SSD) to suppress the disk chatter
Then I want to put my media library onto Vol 2 (the HDD)

My stupid noob question is how to see each disk / volume separately in the ADM File Explorer?
All I see in the NAS root is ADM, External Drive and the Recycle bin
Where is each separate Volume?

I was expecting to see the root of each volume. Then I could map a different drive letter to each volume from W11 and install PLEX / copy back my media

Cheers

I seem to have answered my own question

If you create a Shared Folder, it gives you the option to select which volume to create the folder on
