Raid10 - Enquiries - 07-05-2025
Hi Rob
I am installing TS364 and I have 2 4TB Red plus and 1 8TB red pro and my thinking was to have the two 4TB mirrored on one 8TB. Is this config possible and if so how do I do that?
Thanks

On the QNAP TS-364, you’re not limited to a single RAID configuration for all three drives. QNAP lets you create multiple storage pools and different RAID levels on the same NAS. So in your case, you could:
• Create a RAID 1 mirror with your two 4TB drives, for redundancy.
• Use the 8TB drive as a separate single disk volume for additional storage.
This way you keep your critical data mirrored, and still make use of the extra space on the 8TB.
Also worth mentioning — the TS-364 has 3×3.5” bays, but QNAP also sells dual-SSD adapters that let you install two 2.5” SSDs in a single 3.5” bay. That’s great if you ever want to add SSD cache or a separate fast SSD pool later without giving up all three bays.
