A single hard drive is used. All data is lost in the event of a hard drive failure.

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RAID functionality is not available in JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) mode. Data

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

is written sequentially on the designated disks. Both hard drives are combined to

 

 

 

JBOD

 

form a single larger disk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

 

 

If you are using two identical HDDs, it is recommended to use RAID 0.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both hard drives are combined and the available capacity of each disk is added

 

 

 

 

 

into a single logical volume. Redundancy or parity is not available. RAID0 offers

 

 

 

RAID 0

 

the best performance, however, there is no disk failure protection.

 

 

 

 

Important:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If a single disk in RAID 0 fails, the data in both disks is inaccessible due to the

 

 

 

 

 

RAID 0 cross-disk writing function.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dual hard drives are required. RAID 1 is a secure mode, providing mirroring

 

 

 

 

 

functionality. The data is duplicated between both HDDs, and, in the event of a

 

 

 

RAID 1

 

single disk failure, the data is available in the healthy disk. RAID 1 is recom-

 

 

 

 

 

mended for disk failure protection. However, available disk space is reduced by

 

 

 

 

 

50% due to the mirroring function.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT:

Changing RAID types erases all data stored on your storage disks. If there is saved data on the drive(s), backup your data before proceeding.

The Disk Manager function displays model, capacity and status of the available hard drives. You can view the health status, remove, check, format, and unmount a disk drive.

Creating a RAID Mode

IMPORTANT:

Changing RAID types erases all data stored on your storage disks.If there is saved data on the drive(s), backup your data before proceeding.

In a Single Disk Volume, a second drive is not supported. After creating a Single Disk Volume, you must power off the system before installing a second hard drive.

CAUTION:

[3.1.1] Installing a second hard drive in a Single Disk Volume while the system is powered on is not recommended.
