(9) RAID 1 Rebuild
If one of the drives fail, the D1 or D2 LED will turn RED while
connected to a computer. A new drive can be installed and will
automatically rebuild with data (if congured for RAID 1 mode).
1. Power down the MiniPro and remove the failed drive.
2. Install the new drive and power up the MiniPro.
3. Connect the MiniPro to a computer.
4. The D1/D2 LED will blink about three times per second, which
indicates a rebuild in progress.
5. You may disconnect the MiniPro from the computer during
the rebuild, if desired. This will not interrupt the rebuild.
Note: To estimate the rebuild time, multiply one HDD by 3 to get the
rebuild hours. For example, a 10TB RAID1 will take 15 hours (5TB x 3).
For SSDs, take the size of both drives and divide by 4. For example, a
4TB SSD RAID1 will take 1 hour to rebuild (4TB divided by 4).
(8) Sleep
The MiniPro RAID V3 does not have an auto-sleep timer.
However, it will follow the sleep settings of the computer. When
your computer enters sleep mode, the MiniPro will sleep and
the HDDs will spin down.
