Important Notice
Please read the following before using the ARAID Disk Array
• ARAID 1500 and 2000 complies with standard RAID 1 (disk mirroring) and RAID 0 (disk
striping) definitions.
• We recommend that two identical (exact same brand and model) hard drives be used in all
RAID implementations for RAID system performance and maintenance.
• Recommended UDMA 133/100/66 hard drives:
¾ Seagate
¾ Maxtor
¾ Western Digital
¾ Hitachi(IBM)
¾ Fujitsu
• Use 40 GB or greater disk capacity.
• Keep a spare hard drive or an inventory of spare hard drives used in your RAID system in
case of disk failure. If identical models are unavailable, stock drives with larger capacity
and higher drive speed from the same manufacturer. See Q&A for details on hard drive
replacement.
• ARAID 1500/2000 features an Auto-Mirror function (default mode) for easy hard disk
duplication. The Auto-Mirror allows you to duplicate a hard disk without requiring FDISK
and FORMAT partitioning and formatting functions.
