Chapter 3 NAS Starter Utility for NSA210

6Select how to configure the hard disks. Figure 31 Choose HDD Configuration

With only one hard disk installed, just click Next. If you have two hard disks installed choose one of the following:

•RAID 1: Use this to mirror all data on one disk to the other disk to protect against data loss.

•Individual Disks: Use this if you want maximum storage capacity and/or you have other means of protecting your data. This creates two JBOD volumes (with one disk in each), a failure of one disk (volume) should not affect the other volume (disk).

•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.
