Currently I don't need the extra 6TB. I think I will wait until the others drives die and I replace them all with the same size.
RAID requires all partitions to be identical in size.
Strange. I thought this only applies to RAID 5 and others. I use RAID 0. I thought they just add all the drives together. I used this calculator: https://www.synology.com/de-de/support/RAID_calculator?hdds=10%20TB|4%20TB|4%20TB|4%20TB|4%20TB Maybe this just applies for Synology NAS and not for all RAID 0 in general? Thank you for your reply. I have another question: Do you recommend using the LaCie 5big with the hardware RAID or use it via SoftRaid? I will lose some speed due to software, but on the other hand I have more infos about S.M.A.R.T of the single drives.]]> SoftRAID Volumes Question-Guy https://forums.softraid.com/softraid-volumes/5-drives-with-26tb-only-20tb-possible-lacie-5big/#post-4792 5 drives with 26TB.
