7.Lastly a prompt message asks whether to do drive copy. The source and destination drives are the ones indicated as ‘M’ and ‘m’ in ‘Drive Select Menu’ respectively.

Note: RAID 1 cannot be used for parallel ATA drives connected at the same channel. RAID 1 cannot be used for mixed parallel and serial ATA drives.

2.2.3 Create JBOD for integrated Capacity

1.Press ‘Enter’ key to activate this item. A ‘J’ flash cursor appears at the ‘Drive Select Menu’ for the user to choose the first drive for JBOD.

2.Use ‘Space’ key to choose the desired drive for JBOD array. Use ‘Enter’ key to finish JBOD drive selection. The maximum number of drives for JBOD array is four and the minimum is two.

3.The prompt ‘Create JBOD (Y/N)’ appears.

4.Press ‘Y’ key and then some necessary information will be written to drives, which maybe destroy the original data in the drives

Warning: Make sure the data in drives is no longer in use before creating RAID Array.

5.Next the Array Name input line appears for the user to key in a name for the newly created array. The effective characters for an array name is ‘0’-‘9’, ‘A’-‘Z’, ‘a’-‘z’, space and underscore.

2.2.4 Stripe Size

This item is effective for RAID 0. The user can choose a stripe size from 64K (default), 32K, 16K, 8K and 4K. If the user uses RAID 0 for most A/V editing application or files, 64K is recommended.

1.Press ‘Enter’ key to activate this item. Then 64K, 32K, 16K, 8K, 4K items appears at bottom of Main Menu.

2.Use ‘↑’ ‘↓’ to choose the stripe size.
