Qnap TS-459 Duo Raid 1

[maccadon]

After a damaged Raid 5 setup i replaced all the drives in a customers TS-459.
The customer has 4x 1,5 TB running in raid 5 but is only using 400 gb.
We don't want raid 5 anymore because we had 2 failures that even the extra drives couldn't fix.
I have now setup the nas by making 2 Raid 1 mirrors.
I want to use 1 raid 1 set for data and the other only for replication of that data.

One public folder is shared over the network
But how can i get to the public folder of the second raid 1 set?

Is this possible or do i then have to go to raid 10?

I want to use 1 raid 1 set for data and the other only for replication of that data.

RAID 6 would offer better fault tolerance (any 2 disks can fail and the data will still be accessible) and RAID 10 would offer almost the same disk fault tolerance. Both will be easier to manage and use than a dual RAID 1 configuration.

But how can i get to the public folder of the second raid 1 set?

There are no folders at all by default on the second RAID 1-volume but you can manually create a shared folder named Public2 or whatever you prefer it to be called (as long as it is unique on the NAS). All shared folders will be used in the same way from the client computers regardless of on which volume they physically are located.
