RAID Protection

Thanks to the secure RAID modes, including RAID 5 and RAID 6, the 5big Network enables you to keep data access even if one disk fails. The hot-swappable disk trays** even allow maintenance without affecting your workflow. “Spare” modes allow a second level of protection; a sort of “automatic maintenance” that will immediately start rebuilding the RAID protection in case of a disk failure. And with room for five disks, the 5big offers more capacity than four-disk solutions in almost every RAID mode. Extra spare disks are available as an option for immediate replacement.

Back Up Your NAS Content

Get extra security and increase data portability by backing up your 5big Network to an external hard drive through its USB

2.0and eSATA 3GB/s ports. Backup with the 5big is easy and customizable; you can opt for daily or weekly backups, or choose a time or date that works for you. By using an incremental backup system, the 5big Network automatically saves you time by only backing up new files.
