- the f5-422 have 4gb ddr3 memory, what is the maximun size for upgrade it (4+4=8gb or more ispossible ?)

very very sorry for my poor english !!!

Hello there,
1. Both file systems can be used. EXT4 is recommended temporarily.
2. Raid 0 has the highest transmission efficiency, but Raid 5 is also a good choice which can protect your data well and the transmission speed is not slow.
3. F5-422 supports up to 80TB (16TB*5)
RAID 0: The storage capacity is the capacity of N* smallest hard disks (N is the number of hard disk drives, not less than 2).
RAID 1: The storage capacity is the capacity of the smallest hard disk.
RAID 5: The storage capacity is the capacity of (N-1)* smallest hard disks (N is the number of hard disk drives, not less than 3).
RAID 6: The storage capacity is the capacity of (N-2)* smallest hard disks (N is the number of hard disk drives, not less than 4).
Single Disk: The capacity of each hard drive is independent.
JBOD: The storage capacity is the sum of the capacity of all hard disk drives.
