Advanced Settings

Disk Management (RAID Setup)

This page shows your current RAID arrays. You may delete old arrays or create new ones by clicking on the underlined RAID Array # under RAID Array Configuration.

The RAID Scanning Settings set a specific time for the TeraStation to scan and inspect its RAID arrays. It is recommended to set a time where the TeraStations usage will be minimal (perhaps the middle of the night). TeraStation will be significantly slower while the RAID scan occurs. Begin Immediate RAID Scan specifies the TeraStation to run a RAID Scan immediately.

You may also disable RAID Array Error Detection Response from this page. Normally, this is set to automatically shut down the RAID array when an error is detected. Though it is not recommended, you may disable that behavior by selecting Disable.

NOTE: TeraStation has four internal hard drives. Before creating a new RAID array, you may have to delete one or more pre-existing RAID Arrays to clear up the hard drives for your new one. This will destroy all data currently on the disks, so back up any important data before deleting RAID arrays. Whether you want to clear out an old array or create a new one, begin by clicking on the array’s underlined RAID Array #, under Name.
