Trying to squeeze some more storage in my MiniPC. I have questions about these. These use hardward RAID with selectable modes (Individual/JBOD/RAID1/RAID2).

  1. If I use RAID 1 and one of the drives fails, will I know?

  2. If a drive fails, and a slap in a new one, will it internally begin repairing RAID 1 again?

  3. Can I use these as “individual” or JBOD and have 2 separate drives through the same connector, and use something like TrueNAS to software-RAID them?

    I’m not entirely sure what the benefit of this setup would be over 2 independent SSD’s

    The benefit is that I don’t have anywhere to connect 2 SSDs, much less M.2

      Gotcha. I missed that one. :)
