IP address

The identifier of a computer, server, or other device on a TCP/IP network. IP addresses are a sequence of four numbers separated by periods. (For example, 123.456.78.1.) Every device on your local network has a unique IP address.

link aggregation

A method of increasing the speed of a device’s network connection by using more than one Ethernet port simultaneously to connect to the network.

If you connect both of your Seagate NAS LAN ports to your network router or switch and set Aggregation in Seagate NAS Manager, both connections work simultaneously and in parallel to move data more quickly—similar to filling a bucket using two hoses instead of one.

Access to the server from a computer on your local network. Or, manual access to the server, which involves physical contact with the server or its cables. See also remote access.

mirror

A level of RAID protection also known as RAID 1. A mirror is built from two disk drives, where one disk drive is a mirror of the other (the same data is stored on each disk drive). Compared to independent disk drives, a mirrored volume provides faster performance, but has only 50% of the capacity.
