I created a mirrored volume on my Synology DS415+ created with two equal disks. The default mode was Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) but I see that I could also could have chosen for 'regular' RAID 1.
As the disk currently only contains data that I can easily restore I thought if now is the time to recreate the volume to regular RAID 1.
Would that be a smart thing to do? Will that increase compatibility with other OS's?
I understand that the created volume would still be in ext4
I would recommend leaving it as SHR. If anything, Synology SHR actually increases the amount of storage space you can use while still giving you the same level of redundancy.
