4 Select the RAID type you would like to use.
Striped RAID Set - RAID 0 - distributes data evenly across all drives in RAID 0. Use this mode
for increased performance. RAID 0 provides no protection against drive failure. It is highly
recommended to have a backup when using the T3 in RAID 0.
Mirrored RAID Set - RAID 1 - creates identical copies of data across all drives in the RAID 1 volume.
RAID 1 is ideal for back up and archiving. This is the most secure form of RAID but does not oer
any performance increase.
Concatenated Disk Set - SPAN (non-RAID) - drives work together but data is not distributed
evenly. After the rst drive in the SPAN set is lled, data then gets saved to the following drive.
SPAN does not oer any performance gains but is useful when using drives of dierent capacities.
It is highly recommended to have a backup when using SPAN because it does not oer any form
of data protection.
