4 1TB disks into two Raid 1Pairs

[banjo]

Hi
Took delivery of N4100pro and 4 x 1TB disks, raid 1 on disk 1 & 2 took 90 minutes, now I can see disks 3&v but cannot raid them as a 2nd pair.

The Help files are not as detailed as they could be prior to setting up raid and did not explain what the options would be afterwards.

Any help appreciated and would be happy to pay for a solution using Paypal.

thanks
Paul

You can't have two raid sets. You could use all 4 as one raid setup.

thank you for your time, the problem was eventually resolved by Peter in Technical support who got me to format as raid 5 using three disks and to put a tick against disk 4 to mark it as spare which I now understand will pull in that disk in the event on one disk failing.

The documentation is very poor, screen shots look a few years old and the quality of the English on the information screens looks like it's been converted to English by one of these cheap conversion tools.

Peter in support on the other hand was excellent with hardly any accent, almost sounded American - thanks Peter.
