I have 4 bay My Cloud Ex4100 and want two difetents raid 01
๐จ Important Notes Before You Start
Backup First: Changing RAID will erase all data on the disks. Be sure to back up anything important.
Drive Pairs: Youโll need 4 drives total, paired as:
Drives 1 & 2 โ RAID 1 Array A
Drives 3 & 4 โ RAID 1 Array B
โ๏ธ Steps to Configure Two RAID 1 Arrays on EX4100
Log in to Dashboard
Open a browser โ enter your NAS IP โ log in to the My Cloud OS 5 Dashboard.
Go to Storage โ RAID
Select the option to Configure RAID.
Choose Manual Disk Configuration
Instead of selecting a single RAID type for all 4 drives, select JBOD / Individual Volumes or Multiple Volumes.
Create Two Volumes
Set Drives 1 & 2 as one RAID 1 volume.
Set Drives 3 & 4 as another RAID 1 volume.
Apply & Rebuild
The system will erase and rebuild each array. This can take hours depending on drive size.
When finished, youโll see two independent RAID 1 volumes available.
โ What You Get
Two separate RAID 1 arrays, showing as Volume_1 and Volume_2 in the dashboard.
Each RAID 1 gives you redundancy (mirror copy).
You can use one for, say, personal data and the other for media/backup, or however you like.
๐ Do you want me to walk you through step-by-step with screenshots of the My Cloud EX4100 Dashboard menus (like which exact options to click), or do you just want the high-level process?
