7. From the Disk menu, select a disk in the volume to view its status.
Note: The disks are listed by their position in the enclosure: <column>x<row>. For
example, Disk 3x1 is the third disk from the left in the top row of the enclosure.
Configure the Checksum Function
Checksum helps detect data transmission errors. The ReadyNAS uses checksum to
improve accuracy and consistency when writing data to a volume. You can enable or
disable checksumming on each volume. Enabling the checksumming improves the
integrity of your data but reduces performance speeds.
Bit rot protection uses the act of checksumming to detect a read error. For information
and bit rot protection, see Bit Rot Protection on page 62.
Enable or disable the checksum function:
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS.
2. Select System > Volumes.
3. Select one of the volumes listed on the left side of the page.
4. Click the gear icon.
