What RAID type should I choose to maximize use of the available disks in a Synology NAS (say DS 918+)?
I am not looking for redundancy, just max. storage space.
I thought JBOD should do the trick, but https://www.synology.com/en-uk/knowledgebase/DSM/help/DSM/StorageManager/storage_pool_what_is_raid appears to indicate that multiple disks are consolidated into a single volume, which means that one disk going bad will take out the whole volume.
My use case appears to be best served by the Basic type but that seems to imply only a single drive (not sure if I can have multiple independent Basic drives)?
Any Synology users here who can help?
