RAID-1 and RAID-5 logical drives must be synchronized immediately after they are created to assure that the mirror copies of the data (RAID-1) or parity data stripes (RAID-5) are correct and match the associated blocks that they are intended to protect.

- Choose a appropriate enterprise QNAP NAS storage.
- Max out system RAM on the storage.
- Use mSATA and SSD drives for Read/Write caching available on QTS 4.2.0, using 2 or 4 SSD and create RAID 1 or 10 as the caching pool.
Can I change RAID 5 to raid1?
There is no migration path from RAID-1 to RAID-5, except for the special case with two disks, where RAID-1 conveniently is the same as RAID-4 and RAID-5 (because the parity of a single bit is the bit itself), so the migration code just changes the RAID level without touching the data.
Can you change RAID without losing data?
Storage pools can be changed from one RAID type to another without losing existing data.
How can I improve my NAS performance?
adding more memory to the NAS machine can increase performance. of course connecting to the NAS server through a wired connection will increase throughput as well.
