Hello all,
I've just joined and I'm planning is setting up my first FreeNAS box.
I have various Capacity Hard Drives, about 10 in total, below are the biggest of the drives I have others are 320GB & 250GB, all these drives at the moment are in external enclosures:
2 x 3TB, 2 x 1TB, 2 x 500GB.
I'm planning of getting another 3TB drive.
My problem is that 1 of the 3TB, 1TBs and 500gb drives etc. which are in the external enclosures, have all data on them and are full to the rim!!
I want to include the biggest ones in my freeNAS build, so what's the best way to setup freeNAS using the 2 new unused 3TB drives I will have and the ones with data on them, I'd like redundancy as most of the data on these drives is old and not easy to come by if the drives fail, hence this project.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
Joe
