RAID & partitions

#1
This question is about capabilities in Synology or maybe other providers allow this.

Is it possible to create this setup:
- DISK 1 (2TB)
- PARTITION 1.1 (1TB)
- PARTITION 1.2 (1TB)
- DISK 2 (2TB)
- PARTITION 2.1 (1TB)
- PARTITION 2.2 (1TB)

RAID 0 = 1.1 + 2.1 (2TB total) assumption - faster to read and write (striping), no redundancy
RAID 1 = 1.2 + 2.2 (1TB total) assumption - redundancy, but slower than RAID 0

I'm looking at buying DS220+ I care about speed for some and redundancy for other data. And the ability to have two types of RAID on partitions not disks would be perfect for my needs.

Does this make sense?

No, it is not possible to create RAID across different drives or partitions on Synology or other providers. RAID is created at the drive level, not at the partition level. You can create RAID using your selected drives, but each RAID array will be independent and cannot span across multiple drives or partitions. Therefore, you cannot have two different types of RAID on separate partitions within the same set of drives.
