The quality of some ordinary desktop computer hard drives may not be enough to support 24-hour uninterrupted operation of the NAS. Enterprise-grade disks are reliable, but noisy.
Regarding the first and second points you mentioned, it is possible.
It should work either way, but for just 3TB, I would suggest waiting until you can get the larger 3rd drive so you won't have to do the RAID sync twice.MrVanz wrote: ↑Today, 04:41 Hi! This is my first post, and I’m waiting for my first TerraMaster F4-424 Pro coming this week.

It’s safe or better only 2 HDD?
Excuse me but I’m a newbie
