In order to enable immediate use, your Freecom Dual Drive Network Center is pre-formatted and configured as RAID 0. You therefore have the maximum storage space available. If you value maximum data security, we recommend the configuration as RAID 1. In the "RAID 1" mode, your hard disks will be mirrored, so that only half the maximum storage space will be available. If one hard disk fails, your data can then be restored from the second hard disk. Further information on hard disk configuration can be found in Section "Configuration of the hard disks" of this manual.
