Trying to squeeze some more storage in my MiniPC. I have questions about these. These use hardward RAID with selectable modes (Individual/JBOD/RAID1/RAID2).

  1. If I use RAID 1 and one of the drives fails, will I know?

  2. If a drive fails, and a slap in a new one, will it internally begin repairing RAID 1 again?

  3. Can I use these as “individual” or JBOD and have 2 separate drives through the same connector, and use something like TrueNAS to software-RAID them?

    I’m not saying this rudely. This sounds like a “read the manual” moment, since different vendors can have different settings.

    Or at least links to the exact one you are looking at.

      I couldn’t find any manuals. Nothing that referenced my questions. Thought maybe there was just a “conventional” way that these functioned.

          That’s cool that it has a utility but how would I even access that on a server? And how would I be notified if there was a problem?

          External backup is not a possibility.
