Chapter 4 Managing Storage RAID Modes TeraStations support many types of RAID. The type of RAID arrays available for use depends on how many drives are installed in your TeraStation. Notes: • If you change the RAID mode, all data on the array is deleted. This is true for every procedure in this chapter. Always back up any important data before performing actions that affect your RAID array. • Hard drive capacity is shown in Settings in actual gigabytes.
RAID 1 Combines 2 or more drives into a mirrored array. The available space in the array is the capacity of a single drive. Identical data is written to each drive. If a drive is damaged, data can be recovered by replacing the damaged drive. As long as one drive in the array remains undamaged, all data in the array can be recovered. RAID 0 Combines 2 or more drives into a single array. The usable drive space is the total space of all drives used.
3 Click the array to delete. 4 Click Delete RAID Array. 5 The “Confirm Operation” screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK. 6 Click OK when finished. Once JBOD is configured, create shared folders on each drive to use them. Changing RAID Mode To change the RAID mode, first put the drives in JBOD. 1 In Settings, click Drives. 2 Click to the right of “RAID”.
3 Click the array to delete. 4 Click Delete RAID Array. 5 The “Confirm Operation” screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK. 6 Click OK. 7 Choose a RAID array.
8 Select a RAID mode and the drives to be used, then click Create RAID Array. 9 The “Confirm Operation” screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK. 10 Click OK when finished. Notes: • You can also configure RAID settings from Easy Admin. • After changing the RAID mode, create a shared folder. RMM (RAID Mode Manager) With RMM, you can create or expand a RAID array without erasing the data on the drives.
3 Choose a RAID array. 4 Set the RAID mode to “RAID 1”. 5 Select the “Add a disk to RAID array with RMM. Your data will be preserved.” checkbox. 6 Select the drive whose data will be saved from the drop-down list. 7 Select the drive to add to the RAID array. 8 Click Create RAID Array. 9 The “Confirm Operation” screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK. 10 Click OK when finished.
Adding a Drive to an Existing RAID Array or Changing the RAID Mode While Adding a Drive You can add a drive to a RAID 1 or RAID 5 array. Drives in JBOD can be added to the RAID array. Notes: • This function will not be available for the TS1200D series TeraStations. • RMM can be used to expand an array by one drive per operation. To expand by two or more drives, RMM must be performed multiple times. 1 In Settings, click Drives. 2 Click to the right of “RAID”. 3 Choose a RAID array.
4 Select one drive to add to the RAID array. If changing the RAID mode, choose the desired mode for the array from the drop-down list. If not, keep the current RAID mode as is. 5 Click Change RAID Array. 6 The “Confirm Operation” screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK. 7 Click OK when finished. RAID Scanning A RAID scan checks you RAID array for bad sectors and if it finds any, it automatically repairs them. Arrays other than RAID 0 are supported.
5 Select when to run the scan and click OK. Notes: • Select the “Immediately” checkbox to run a RAID scan immediately. • To stop a RAID scan, click Cancel RAID Scan. • If a RAID scan is configured to start while the TeraStation is in sleep mode, the RAID scan will not run. Adding an External Hard Drive Connecting an External Drive Your TeraStation includes USB ports (the number of ports depends on your model), and you can connect external drives to these ports.
Dismounting Drives If the TeraStation is powered on, dismount drives (internal and external) before unplugging them. You may dismount external drives with the function button, or any drive from Settings. If the TeraStation is off, then all drives are already dismounted and may be unplugged safely. Note: If dismounting multiple drives at the same time, dismount all drives first; when the status is displayed as “Dismounted / Plugged” in Settings for all drives, disconnect them.
5 When the following message is displayed, it is safe to unplug the drive. Note: To remount the drive, unplug it and then plug it back in when the function LED extinguishes. Checking Drives A drive check tests the data on a drive in the TeraStation or one that is connected via USB for integrity. Errors are fixed automatically. With large drives, a drive check may run for many hours. Shared folders cannot be accessed during a drive check. Do not turn off the TeraStation until the drive check is finished.
4 Click Check. You have the option of deleting information files from macOS during the check if desired. Formatting Drives Notes: • Under some circumstances, data deleted when a drive is formatted can be recovered. To ensure that data is “gone forever”, a format might not be sufficient. See the “Erasing Data on the TeraStation Completely” section below. • After a drive is formatted, the “% Used” and “Amount Used” in Settings will not be 0. This is because some drive space is used for the system area.
3 Select the drive or array to format, then click Format Disk. 4 Select a format type, then click Format. 5 The “Confirm Operation” screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK. 6 Depending on the size and the formatted file system of your drive, the format may take several minutes or several hours to complete. “Formatting” will be displayed in Settings or NAS Navigator2 until the format is complete. Click OK when finished.
Erasing Data on the TeraStation Completely Under some circumstances, data from formatted drives can be recovered. The drive erasure process in this section does a much more thorough job of erasing data. This procedure is recommended for removing all data from a drive in a way that makes it nearly impossible to recover with current tools.
Drive Quotas You can set a drive quota to limit drive space for each user or group. You can also set a threshold. If the drive space exceeds the configured threshold, an email notification will be sent. To configure email notifications for the drive quota, refer to the “Email Notification” section in chapter 8. Notes: • When using quotas, disable the recycle bin or empty the trash folder often. The limited space includes the space used for trash. • Quotas apply per drive or per array.
2 Click to the right of “Groups”. 3 Select the group that will be given a quota and click Edit. If you want to set a quota for a new group, create a group by referring to the “Adding a Group” section in chapter 3. 4 Enable quotas, choose the alert and the maximum amount of space the group is allowed, and click OK. 5 Click Close. 6 Click to the right of “Users”. 7 Select the user that will inherit the group quota settings.
• For the replacement drive, use a Buffalo OP-HDBST series drive for TS1200D and TS1400D, and a OP-HDS series drive for TS1400R. The new drive should be the same size (if using RMM) or larger. If a larger drive is used, the extra space will not be usable in a RAID array. • Because TS1000 series TeraStations do not support media cartridges, you cannot connect hard drives that were used as media cartridges in another TeraStation.
2 Pull the failed drive out from the TeraStation. TS1400D TS1200D DISK 1 DISK 2 ERROR DISK 1 DISK 2 Notes: • Do not press hard on the top of the TeraStation. • Pull the drive straight out the front of the chassis. 3 Remove the drive from the cartridge.
