RAID1 Creation On QNAP NAS TS-453A

The beauty of QNAP NAS is that the operating system is on a separate flash drive and therefore, when working with hard drives, the probability of a fatal error is minimal.

To configure hard drives in RAID1, that is, create a software disk mirror for fault tolerance, you need to log into the NAS and open the Storage Manager.

It is necessary to select the Disks tab and select a free disk on the basis of which we want to create a disk array.

Click on the Action curtain and select Create Volume. In this case, a Static Single Volume is created, without the possibility of taking snapshots, to save space.

Selecting disks to create a mirrored array. You can immediately set the type of the RAID array and install it as a spare. This example creates RAID1 with no spare disk.

At the next step, you can check the settings and immediately create a shared folder or change the file system parameters.

Check the settings again and click on the Done button.
