Change nature of disk Arc Loader

[sebigeli]

Hello,

 

I was using an Xpenology NAS under Arc Loader on an ESXI (I5 12400 + 80 Gb of RAM) and I migrated the NAS in baremetal mode to an HP Probook G3 mini PC, I mounted my 2 old 4 TB hard drives via USB.

The goal is to migrate everything to SSD.

I had a Raid 1 of 2 4TB HDDs. I removed an HDD that I was thinking of replacing with a 2.5" 4TB SSD to reform the RAID except that it is not possible to mix two different types of disks hard (hdd, ssd...), is there a possibility to do this?

I was planning to do an F1 raid with an internal 2.5" SSD, 1 nvme SSD and a 2.5" SSD connected via USB, is it possible to pass everything off as SSDs of the same type or even HDD for create a single storage pool. 

 

Xpenology is installed with the DS918+ model

 

Thanks

Try this:

1) make a full backup to an external media (Hyper Backup)

2) remove the HDD's, connect the SSD's and create the storage pool on them

3) restore from the backup

Thanks for your reply, but I think it's not possible to mixed up different type of SSD, one SSD in SATA, one in NVME and one SSD attach with usb (it's see has HDD from DSM).

yes. it's not possible. why do you want to do it this way?

Ok, quite simply because I use a mini pc, an hp probook g3 which only has a 2.5 and nvme slot. I will thinking for go to OpenMediaVault.

Try to answer the question for yourself: why do I need a NAS server? I can't find a good reason to build such a server in atypical/exotic configurations. One of the most important advantages of NAS is high reliability of data storage. And using such strange solutions, you will most likely lose this reliability...

it's a software raid, the support doesn't matter as long as they have the same volume. Everything important on my NAS is backed up to Onedrive. I'll see, otherwise I would connect the 3 SSDs via USB so that all 3 of them are like HDDs.
