Chapter 5 Tutorials

Your NSA has a single bay for a SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard disk. JBOD is the only storage method for the NSA310S and the default storage method if you are using a single hard disk in the NSA310.

This JBOD volume shows up in the Storage > Volume screen (Section 8.2 on page 162) as follows.

When you attach an eSATA hard disk to your NSA, you can configure this volume as: 1) a backup to your SATA hard disk (RAID 1); or 2) as a separate storage drive (either another JBOD or a PC Compatible Volume).

•Click the Migrate button - This is a quick way to create a RAID 1 volume. Use this to automatically synchronize data in the internal hard disk to the eSATA hard disk.

•Click the Create a SATA volume button - Use this if there are no existing volumes in your NSA.
