FREECOM DUAL DRIVE NETWORK CENTER

 

Disk Utility

Here you can select the organisation of your logical drives, for example by selecting "RAID 1".

Select an organisation schematic and either "Enable" or "Disable" S.M.A.R.T. S.M.A.R.T stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology and monitors your hard disk operation. Now click on "Create" in order to create your required organisation schematic.

RAID Modes

You can configure the hard disks of your Dual Drive Network Center in various RAID modes:

JBOD: In this mode, the hard disks of your Dual Drive Network Center are configured as individual drives.

RAID 0: In the mode "RAID 0", the hard disks of your Dual Drive Network Center are combined, and data is always distributed alternately between both hard disks. This offers the advantage that reading and writing takes place significantly more quickly than with individual hard disks. The disadvantage of this mode however is that if one of the two hard disks fails, all data on the Dual Drive Network Center will be lost.

RAID 1: If you use the mode "RAID 1", all data on the first hard disk will be mirrored onto the second hard disk. This means that only half of the total storage space of your Dual Drive Network Center is usable. The advantage however is the high data security, since all data is saved twice. In case of failure of one of the two hard disks, your data are still usable from the second hard disk.
