TS-639 Pro - Max Drive Size - Raid 6 Storage Capacity
Posted: Mon Nov 02, 2009 4:54 pm
Hi
I like the TS-639 Pro specs and will be purchasing a unit as soon as possible, BUT.......
I'd like to get clear on max drive size and actual total storage capacity using raid 6. Also QUAP's choice in hard drives.
1. Max drive size in the literature online here is 1.5tb.... but on your compatability list you state 2tb... why and which is the correct answer?
2. Depending on the above answer... what is the maximum storage size with 6 drives in a raid 6 configuration?
Your video here states 6tb using six 1.5tb drives... but if you can use 2tb drives???
3. I dont' have great confidence in Seagate, Western Digital, or Hitachi right now... What manufacturer of 1.5tb or 2tb drives (depending on question 1 & 2) does QNAP have confidence in?
Thanks,
George
