Reading about John's issues with his Synology NAS has prompted me to learn how best to use the Mediasonic Probox 4-bay enclosure I bought a few years ago. I cannot find a model number on it (which I think is rather strange), and the only docs that came with it are instructions on loading the drives on the racks and inserting them in the case.
Because I did not find how to best use it at the time it's been sitting here. Now I want to take advantage of it and have a few questions which I know folks here can answer. 1. Do all drives need to be of the same size? (I assume the brand doesn't matter as long as they all run at the same speed -- 7200rpm.) Now I have 2Tb, 2x1Tb, and a 750Gb drives in there. 2. What software should I use and what configuration options should I use? Currently I have an external USB drive for backup but can use some of the drive space on the Probox for that. The rest of the space would be for storage. 3. What should I read to learn how best to make use of this device?
