Data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways called "RAID levels", depending on what level of redundancy and performance is required. 8.
Network Video Recorder User Manual 8.1.2 One-Touch Creation Purpose One-touch configuration helps you to quickly create the disk array. By default, the array type created by one-touch configuration is RAID 5. Before you start Enable RAID function. For details, refer to Chapter 8.1.1 Enable RAID. Install at least 3 HDDs. If more than 10 HDDs are installed, 2 arrays will be created.
