Understanding Volume Management The ReadyNAS Duo uses X-RAID, an NETGEAR-patented expandable RAID technology. Some benefits of X-RAID technology are: • One-volume technology, but supports volume expansion, either by with the addition of more disks or the replacement of an existing disk with larger capacity disks.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo User Guide • X-RAID has One Data Volume. X-RAID devices have only one data volume. This volume encompasses one to two disks, utilizing the capacity of the smallest disk from each disk. For instance, if you had one 80 GB disk and one 250 GB disk, only 80 GB from is used in the volume. (The leftover space on the 250 GB disk is reclaimed only when the 80 GB disk is replaced with a 250 GB or greater capacity disk. See “Replacing Your Disk for More Capacity” on page 1-21.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo User Guide First, power down the ReadyNAS Duo, replace the first disk with the large-capacity disk, and then reboot. If your ReadyNAS Duo supports hot-swapping, you can hot-swap the disk without powering down.
