Chapter 2 NAS Starter Utility for NSA221, NSA310, NSA320, and NSA325

JBOD: Use this if you want maximum storage capacity and/or you have other means of protecting your data. This combines the two physical disks into a single virtual one, so they appear as a single large disk.

RAID 0: Use this if you want maximum speed for your disks, and/or you have other means of protecting your data. RAID 0 has the fastest read and write performance but if one disk fails you lose all your data from both disks.

7This screen lists the shares the NAS Starter Utility creates on the NSA by default. Select the ones you want to use as network drives in Windows Explorer.

8Specify usernames and passwords for the individuals you want to be able to access the NSA and click Next.

9If the settings are OK, click Next. Otherwise click Back. If you want to change anything other than the user accounts, keep clicking Back until you can change the wizard type to manual.

10Wait while the NAS Starter Utility configures the NSA.
