Q: Do I need two drives for NAS?

2023-09-01



#NAS #drives #FAQ

ASUSTOR NAS does not necessarily require two hard disks, the exact number of hard disks required depends on your needs and NAS model. If you only need to use the NAS as a single storage device, then you only need to install one hard disk.
However, if you need to use RAID technology to increase data security and redundancy, or if you need to run applications such as virtual machines or containers on the NAS, then you need to install at least two hard drives.
When using RAID technology, at least two hard drives are required to implement RAID 1 or RAID 5, and if you need to run applications such as virtual machines or containers on the NAS, one hard drive is required to install the NAS's operating system and applications, and the other hard drive is used to store the virtual machine's image files, data, and logs.
In short, the number of hard disks you need to install in an ASUSTOR NAS depends on your needs. If you don't need to use RAID or run applications such as VMs, you can get by with just one hard disk.
