With a RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 volume, you can also add a spare disk

after the RAID is created.

See Chapter 6: Tips and Tricks > Adding a Spare Disk for details.

For more information on RAID, see Appendix C: RAID Basics.

RAID Level

You can set the storage volume as JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 or

RAID 10. RAID configuration is usually required only when you first set up the

device. A brief description of each RAID setting follows:
