Hi,
so I am a newbie when it comes to NAS and RAID,
I tried searching, but I couldn't find much.
So, when building my machine people told me to just do it in RAID 1, that way my files will be safe and it makes sense, so I did it, and I knew that out of 2 x 4TB HDDs I'll be able to use only 3,8TB or so, I was fine with that, now I'm kind of regretting it because I am at 82% used already,
so I would like to know if it is possible to "unraid" (haha), my HDDs, so that 1 still has all my data on it, and the other one acts just as a second storage HDD.
I don't want the data to be striped btw, just use it as 2 standalone HDDs.
The data on those HDDs is not terribly important, its mainly just movies, music, and games from GOG, so, if, IF, a drive fails... I mean whatever. Not a biggie.
My System is a pretty standard one:
Asus J4105
2 x 4TB WD Red
120 GB SSD with FreeNAS on it
8GB RAM
Thanks
EDIT: SOLUTION
thanks to sretalla
