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?

      Why not ask QNAP or StarTech support about how they operate then?

        Seriously? When was the last time you tried to use customer support for absolutely anything? There’s no such thing anymore.

          The last time I used customer support was asking an aliexpress seller the size of a DC jack on their product, and they answered my question (in broken english) with exactly the information I was looking for.
