Slightly OT: Do Melco N1A owners use the RAID options or span the discs to get 4TB storage?
It seems that, in the event of HD failure, the device has to be returned to Melco. Thus the data on the surviving HD may not be retained anyway. In this event, maybe the spanned array is best - with a 4TB backup drive permanently attached to the 'Backup' USB slot.
Needless to say, I went for the RAID option, and am now rethinking, even with the effort involved. I'm betting that reconfiguring the drives will necessitate reinstallation of MinimServer, but I may be wrong on this.
