4.When asked ALL DATA ON THE RAID WILL LOST!! ARE YOU SURE TO DELETE (Y/N), press Y to accept.

Solve Mirror Conflict

When a RAID set is created, metadata which includes drive connection information is written to the disk. If after a disk failure, the drive that failed was replaced by a disk that was previously part of a RAID set (or used in another system), it may have conflicting metadata. This will prohibit the RAID set from being either created or rebuilt. In order for the RAID set to function properly, this old metadata must be first overwritten with new metadata. To resolve this, from the main RAID BIOS window select Solve Mirror Conflict, then press Enter, the correct metadata, including the correct drive connection information, will be written to the replacement disk.

Rebuild Mirror Drive

If a failure on one member occurs, you will be notified by the

RAID BIOS during boot. The steps below will guide you in rebuilding a failed mirror set.

1.Replace the failed drive with one of equal or greater capacity, then start the computer.

2.During boot press Ctrl+J to enter the RAID BIOS.

3.Select Rebuild Mirror Drive press Enter.

4.Use arrow keys and to select the array you want to rebuild, press Enter.

5.Use arrow keys and to select the destination disk, press Enter.

6.When rebuilding is finished, select Save And Exit Setup, press Enter. When asked Save to disk &Exit (Y/N)?, press Y to exit the BIOS.

Steps:

1.JMB36X RAID Configurer installation

ADI2S3GPX1-2E specifications

Addonics Technologies has developed a robust data storage solution with the ADI2S3GPX1-2E, a dual drive enclosure specifically designed for high-performance applications. This innovative product offers an efficient way to manage and store data while ensuring high levels of security and reliability.

One of the standout features of the ADI2S3GPX1-2E is its dual drive support. It accommodates two 2.5-inch SATA drives, allowing users to maximize storage capacity while facilitating easy data redundancy. This is particularly beneficial for businesses and individuals who require dependable backups and want the ease of data recovery.

The device employs advanced RAID technology, supporting RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD configurations. RAID 0 enhances performance by striping data across both drives, while RAID 1 provides data mirroring for redundancy, ensuring that data is protected even in the event of drive failure. The JBOD configuration allows for flexible use of drives, making it easy to manage and utilize storage space.

Another key feature is its USB 3.0 interface, which provides high-speed data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps. This allows users to quickly back up or access large files, significantly improving workflow efficiency. Additionally, the backward compatibility with USB 2.0 ensures that users can integrate the ADI2S3GPX1-2E into a variety of existing systems without any issues.

The enclosure is designed with a durable aluminum housing that not only provides physical protection for the drives but also aids in efficient heat dissipation. This ensures that the drives operate optimally even under heavy workloads, reducing the risk of overheating and subsequent failures.

User-friendliness is another important aspect of the ADI2S3GPX1-2E. The device features a simple plug-and-play setup, allowing users to easily connect it to their computers or servers without complicated installation processes. LED indicators conveniently show the status of the drives and RAID configuration, providing real-time feedback on performance.

In summary, the Addonics Technologies ADI2S3GPX1-2E is a versatile and efficient dual drive enclosure that combines advanced RAID functionalities, high-speed USB connectivity, and a rugged design. Its array of features addresses the diverse needs of users, from high-capacity storage to reliable data protection, making it an ideal choice for both personal and professional use.
