Raid 5 configuration
Go to solution
Solved by seagate_surfer,
When it comes to RAID, the general rule-of-thumb is to stick with drives that have as much of the same specs as possible, not because it wouldn't work otherwise, but typically the drive with the lowest "something" value holds back any other drive that is faster/better in that spec, so a 5,400 RPM drive in RAID with a 7,200 RPM drive would run at 5,400 RPM, or the 5TB drive you mentioned would be held to the capacity of the lower drives, etc.
One of the most convenient and user-friendly ways I've seen for playing with different RAID configs is actually the RAID Calculator Tool on Synology's website.
