Can 2 mSATA drives be installed so that I could have a RAID 1 configuration?

There are 2 connectors - 1 for mSATA and one for the WiFi. The only other connectors are the slots for RAM.

Comes with 2x2 TB drives. So, default RAID 1 would give you approximately 2 TB of usable space. This allows for one of the drives to fully fail and you lose nothing. Just have to replace the bad drive to retain redundancy.

Why would you need to do that? This is an array you would pop the bad drive out slap a new one in and it would rebuild the data on its own. The default is raid 1 but you can customize to your preference.

I believe by default they come in a RAID 1, which would give you 2TB of total storage. If you set it to RAID0, you'll get use of all 4TB (probably 3.6 or so useable) but you will not have redundancy.

Yes. It will allow a single drive. When you add the second one, hopefully identical in size, you can choose to add it as more capacity or as a RAID. If a RAID, then the DS will create a second copy of the first and significantly increased the system reliability.

You can start with one drive and add drives as needed. Of course if you don't use at least 2 drives you can't RAID them. The NAS will pick an appropriate RAID configuration automatically, but you can override it if you like. You can even mix disk sizes but that is not the best solution. You should use SATA 6 drives. As you add new drives the system recognizes them and reconfigures your system.

JBOD or even a mix of different RAID arrays (i.e. a 2 drive RAID1 and a 3 drive RAID5) is possible.

Either is possible, it has two drives in it and can be used as Raid 1 or you can use them as Raid 0. From recollection it comes preconfigured to be used as Raid 0 - taking more advantage of the the thunderbolt interface.

Yes, just be sure you do not install any programs on the drive or they may not run. If you are using the 2nd drive just for data it should be fine.

Yes I have 1 ssd and 1 bluray burner and 1 drive but i could put 4 in raid 5 if i wanted too! Hope this helps

The one I bought has hardware raid. I have 4 * 1tb drives installed configured as RAID 5.

I believe once you change to flex-raid you can setup the drives however you would like. If you have 4 drives you can use raid 1 for two drive and leave the others drives as raid 0

Yes, you can use with a single drive or multiple drives. They do not have to be in a RAID configuration. That is optional.

Any SATA drives will work, but I would recommend using the same drives in both bays.

yes. And it requires setting a jumper in the enclosure to which raid type you want.

I don't see why not. I'm running two new WD Blue 1TB drives (striped) and they work fine.
