Hi

I just got a f4 425 and have two 1TB SSD drives installed. I cannot for the life of me see how to set it up as a multi-drive system - it just kept defaulting to RAID and showing two drives as a single volume.

I have done the Storage Pool thing - eventually I reset the whole device and chose "expert" mode when it asked me which disk to use as the system disk - I specified one disk only. Now when booted it shows me two storage pools - one for each drive. But how do I get the two drives to appear as two separate volumes? I just want to go to Network on my Mac and see two network volumes available that I can use as separate drives. This must be possible? Any advice appreciated, thanks.

Storage Pool --> Volumes (create 1 or more)
Volume ---> Shared Folders (Create 1 or more)

"volumes" are not directly accessed via network shares, only shared folders.

Note default installation will auto create 'Homes' Folder(s) in the first Volume (Typically Volume 1) which can be enabled/disabled via Control Panel

OK thanks but it doesn't address my other question - I have two 1TB drives installed and whatever I do I cannot get the second one to show up as available to create folder on, even though it shows it is installed correctly.

My question is - how do I force the system not to treat it as a RAID? I want them to be available as two separate disks.

Ah I figured it out - I found a way to create a new volume using the second drive and create a pool on that.
