But it did the job just fine as a network share that the NV+ ran scheduled backups to every few hours during each work day. The Linkstation is so old that it doesn’t even have any backup capability. But had I left two drives in and configured them in a single RAID 1 volume.
Since my storage needs are under 100 GB (no, that’s not a typo!), I could easily have dropped down to a single 250 GB Seagate 7200.8 drive in the NV+. But after a drive died on me, I decided to simplify and switch over to standard RAID. I originally started out with the NV+ in XRAID2. (See Smart SOHOs Don’t Do RAID.)īut here I was, using an aging NETGEAR ReadyNAS NV+ in RAID 1 as my main NAS and backing up to an even older Buffalo HD-H120LAN LinkStation. I’ve long been an advocate of avoiding RAID if possible and backing up one NAS to another for data security. But this past weekend, I finally made long-planned changes in the backup routine here at SmallNetBuilder.
