Redundancy and Expansion
A one-disk device has no redundancy and provides no protection from a disk failure.
However, if and when you feel the need for redundancy, simply hot-add a new disk with at
least the capacity of the first disk (there’s no need to power off the ReadyNAS NVX).
Depending on the size of the disk, within a few hours, your data volume will be fully
redundant. The process occurs in the background, so access to the ReadyNAS NVX is not
interrupted. Additionally, as your storage requirement grows, you can hot add more disks for
“horizontal” expansion, or replace your disks with larger capacity ones, and X-RAID2
automatically and incrementally expands your storage “vertically.” X-RAID2 lets you do this
without reformatting your disks and shuffling your data back and forth.
