User Manual

Spanning concatenates multiple hard drives as a single large volume;
resulting in a seamless expansion of virtual volumes beyond the physical
limitations of separately connected hard drives. The data are written from
HDD1 to HDD2.

Striping is a method of concatenating multiple hard drives into one logical
storage unit. It is the automated process of writing data across .multiple drives
simultaneously. Striping is used to increase the performance of disk reads.
The multiple hard drives will write data in “column” effect.
If one drive in a striped set fails, all of the data in the stripe set is lost.
RAID 0
Striping
Mirroring is the automated process of writing data to multiple drives simultaneously.
Mirroring is used to provide redundancy. If one drive fails, the redundant drive(s)
will continue to store the data and provide access to it. The failed drive can then
be replaced and the drive set can be rebuild.
Mirroring
RAID 1
Simulate as a 4-bay non-RAID enclosure,
and you can separately access 4 hard drives.
Note：Do not use hard drive with data to create any RAID mode.
