That is very sound advice for non-SMB Qnap models in general but SS-839 only supports 2.5" disks so (currently) there are physical limitations to using disks large enough to reach that software limitation.
RAID have never ever been a replacement for backups. Without backups on a different system (preferably placed at another site), you will eventually lose data!

A non-RAID configuration (including RAID 0, which isn't really RAID) with a backup on a separate media protects your data far better than any RAID-volume without backup.

All data storage consists of both the primary storage and the backups. It's your money and your data, spend the storage budget wisely or pay with your data!

Good point! :oops:

Thanks for the heads up P3R. I appreciate it.

Is there command-line way to modify the treshold in QTS 4.2.2 in non-SMB version? Regards

Has this still not been sorted am a pc tech with a offsite backup for a customer,
He has a 6x wd red 6tb raid5 setup with a 'small' backup to a single 6tb wd red (sdb3) in my ts-439 pro II

@86% i get hard drive needs replacing???
fair enough on the 2tb full with 3.5gb left. But 86%‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽
This really needs sorting as halol said years ago‽‽‽‽
(you constantly get false positive and eventually start ignoring the warning completely)
even if through ssh to keep the noobs out..
