Trying to do a RAID1 with a Hot Spare. I just purchased:
WD Red 1TB NAS Version which says it's RAID-ready. But when I go to SAS Configuration Settings to turn:
Drive1 into Primary
Drive2 into Secondary Hot Spare.
And when I press C to create the array, this is what it says:
WARNING! Current requested configuration is invalid. Requested Array setup may contain an invalid number of disks or requested array type may be unsupported.
Does this mean the drive is not compatible? Also what are the benefits of turning Drive 2 into a Hot Spare what EXACTLY DOES IT DO?
Thank you.
