When the settings are made, the DiskMaster system starts formatting the disks. This procedure will destroy all the data on the disks. Make sure You have backed up any important data on the disks before the format process. It may require some times; do not perform other jobs during hard drive formatting
There are 3 differents RAID mode:
∙RAID 0= RAID 0, known as disk striping, has generally the best performance, but does not offer any redundancy. In this level, data is broken into small units called sectors, and sectors are distributed across all disks in the array. As it does not provide any data protection, if any disk in the array fails then all data in the array is lost. Such stripes allocation allows to enhance I/O performance.
∙RAID 1= RAID Level 1, known as disk mirroring, is a popular approach to protect data from adisk failure. To implement RAID Level 1, you need at least two physical hard drives. As the disks are paired up, all disk writes are duplicated on both disks. You can back up data without interruption using this algorithm. In case of a disk failure, the system can continue to run without being affected.
JBOD=JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) is a group of disks. JBOD is not tec spanning.” In this mode, together so they appears as a large single disk. Each disk can operate independently and is seen as an individual disk. Therefore, the total capacity of JBOD is the sum of the capacities of each disk. This allows the user to add disks until the desired total capacity is reached. Since JBOD provides no performance increase and data protection, it is seldom used.
