TS-431K+TR-004 SINGLE RAID 5 possible?

Post by DMD61 »

Good morning
It is possible to perform a unique RAID 5 using the main unit TS431K +TR 004 expansion.
Create single pool 7HDD + 1HDD of parity.
Sorry if I ask another non-expert question, using 4TB HDD is the real capacity as single HDD seen on Windows 3.63TB x7?
Thanks for the reply

Very bottom of the page says

https://www.qnap.com/en/product/tr-004

=========

2. The TR-004 can only be used as an individual storage pool or volume on the NAS. Its storage pool/volume cannot be combined into the connected NAS. NAS applications cannot be installed on the TR-004.
