Asustor Nimbustor 4 (AS5304T)

[Ice_Man]

Hi i'm thinking of purchasing the Nimbustor 4 and wanted to check if I can run it initially with just 2 hard drives and later on expand if required. Is that possible or do I need to install HDD in all 4 drives to be able to use it.

Yes. You should start with RAID-1 (2 disks). Upgrade to RAID-5 (3 disks or 4 disks) when you need to expand. Here is the guide: https://www.asustor.com/en-gb/online/Co ... ?topic=352
