RAID Level

You can set the storage volume as JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1. RAID configuration is

usually required only when you first set up the device. A brief description of each

RAID setting follows:

RAID Levels

Level Description

JBOD The storage volume is a single HDD with no RAID support. JBOD

requires a minimum of 1 disk.

RAID 0 Provides data striping but no redundancy. Improves performance

but not data safety. RAID 0 requires a minimum of 2 disks.

RAID 1 Offers disk mirroring. Provides twice the read rate of single disks,

but same write rate. RAID 1 requires a minimum of 2 disks.

WARNING

If the administrator improperly removes a hard disk that should not be

removed when RAID status is degraded, all data will be lost.

NOTE

Building a RAID volume may take time, depending on the size of hard drives

and RAID mode. In general, while the RAID volume building process is up to

“RAID Building” then the data volume is capable to be accessed.

WARNING

Creating RAID destroys all data in the current RAID volume. The data is

unrecoverable.
