Title: Raid 1 to JBOD
Post by: bankerboy on November 13, 2009, 12:51:21 PM
   

Does anyone know if it's possible to switch a Raid 1 array on a LinkStation Pro Duo 2TB to a JBOD setup of 2 separate disks?  I see in the documentation that these modes are supported.  I have mine in Raid 1 right now but would like to switch to JBOD.  I'd like to do it without having to copy all the content to another drive, reformat, and move it back.  I can do it the "hard way", but would prefer not to.

Deleting a RAID Array, which is what changing to JBOD effectively does, will result in data loss. It's effectively a reformat. So the safest route, if data preservation is important to you, would be to copy the data off and then reformat.
