Available RAID Configurations
The NAS enclosure supports 4 different RAID configurations. RAID is a storage technology that combines multiple hard drives into a single unit for secure data redundancy, increased volume size and/or improved performance.
Descriptions and benefits for each available RAID configuration are listed below:
Standard - JBOD
In JBOD, no RAID configuration is set and both drives appear as individual disks.
Note: JBOD is only supported in DAS connection, if connecting through NAS only one drive will be accessible.
Combine – BIG
In BIG, both drives appear together as a larger individual disk the size of both drives combined. This configuration enables you to create a larger volume than would be available using a single drive without the performance increase offered with RAID 0.
Mirroring – RAID1
In RAID1 both drives appear as an individual disk and data is written identically to both. This level protects your data from individual drive failure as a backup of all data is written instantly.
Striping – RAID0
In RAID0 both drives appear together as a larger individual disk the size of both drives combined. This level can improve your performance as read and write operations are performed in parallel on separate disks.
Step 3. NAS Setup
Note: NAS (Network) and DAS (USB 3.0) operation cannot be achieved simultaneously. If switching between DAS and NAS, the enclosure must be rebooted between operation modes. For the purpose of initial setup, we recommend you to set up the NAS first to avoid unnecessary system reboot and HDD
Method 1: Connect the NAS enclosure to your router (Quick Access)
1.Connect an Ethernet cable (included) from the LAN port on the enclosure to an available LAN port on your router.
2.Access the web interface by browsing the device name with your web browser: http: //S352BMU3N
Note: Not all environments will support browsing by product name. In this case, you need to access your router to get the IP address assigned to your NAS Enclosure. (Please reference your router manual for further instruction)
