RAID Information and Advice

[lightkhight]

Hey Yall, first time poster here with a topic that has probably been covered before. I have a NAS that has 4x Seagate BarraCuda 4TB 3.5" and a bunch of other parts that I frankensteined together to make my NAS. I am getting aCrucial P3 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD to replace my Kingston 120GB 6G Solid State Drive that I currently have Windows 10 Home 64bit installed on. Since I am going to be doing a bunch of mucking around with getting Windows 11 Pro installed onto the new m.2, I want to figure out how to use RAID to have one big volume that is 8TB (2x Seagate BarraCuda 4TB 3.5") and then a 8TB backup (2x Seagate BarraCuda 4TB 3.5") but I am not sure if it can be done or where to start looking for how to get this sorted. The NAS is mainly for family photos, old home videos, and my plex server.

 

If anybody could point me in the right direction that would be grand.

 

Thanks in advance

Id just make one large parity volume in storage spaces. You could also setup 2 storage pools if you want the drives to be separate.

 

If you want some storage spaces parity here is my video about setting it up
