Newbie Question about Navigator NAS redundancy

[peteraloha]

Have owned the Navigator for about a year, and successfully deployed it as a NAS for backup.
Can anyhow guide me to explaining how the redundancy works?

My Q might sound naive, but if one drive fails, how am I accessing the other one, which holds a mirror image?
Is there a simple tutorial I can navigate to?

Thanks for any input,

Peter

So to quickly explain how redundancy works for Raid 1.. when you put data on the share it copies to both disk. If you want a more detail on it go here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYBtmVMtH1g and this has alil info as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE7Bfw9lFfs

If a drive fails your unit will still be accessible whether its in a Raid 0 or 1. Just raid 0 you data is gone if a disk fails where as raid 1 your data is safe :D.. You would simply replace the disk. If your unit is in warranty you can get your disk warrantied out. If its not you need to buy a new disk. When buying a new disk try to get the same size of drive. If its a 1TB, etx. No point in getting a bigger drive unless you are going to buy 2 disk and upgrade the unit. If so let me know There is certain ways to do that. that also voids your warranty as well but if you don't have a warranty anymore i wouldn't worry about it,.

So if a disk fails, you can still access everything as you would normally if a disk had not failed.
