The 
OMNINAS 
KD21 
supports 
3.5” or  2.5” 
hard 
disks  or  SSDs with 
a 
maximum capacity  
of  4 
TB  
(or more)  for 
each 
drive.  The drives  
are 
simple  to  install 
and  configure. Depending 
on  your 
specific
requirements 
you  
can choose 
from 
several 
RAID 
modes:
  Single  disk  with 
expansion 
c
a
pability:
 install 
one 
disk 
perman

and 
you  
can add a second 
disk 
temporarily. 
You 
can  always remove 
or 
replace  the second hard 
drive,

Combine

capacity 
of  two  disks with JBOD or 
RAID 
0. 
If 
y
o
u 
are 
using  two 
i
d
entical
 HDDs, it is 
recommended 
to  use  
RAID 
0 
for 
optimised 
performance.
  
RAID 
1  (mirroring):  The 
data 
is 
duplicated 
on  two 
phy
s
ical
disks.  In the  
event 
of 
a  single 
disk  failure,  
the complete data 
is 
still 
available 
on  the  
working 
disk. KD21 
supports hot-swapping 
and auto-rebuild 
fun
c
tionality
 without  
having 
to  turn  off 
the
NAS.
2.5mm
Robust aluminium chassis with a clean and modern look 
KD21 is built  of 
a  2.5mm 
thick stylish 
aluminium housing that 
not  
only
blends 
well with 
home  environments, 
it 
moreover 
is of 
technical benefit
- it is also

ncr

Temperature/°C
Reliable, cool and quiet 
With the  
above 
in 
mind, 
the  inside  
temperature 
doesn
’
t
increase 
easily. 
The fan  
will 
never 
turn  on  when   the  
hard 
disks’ 
temperature 
is 
below 
the 
threshold value 
of  55°C [2]. Should  the  
uncommon case 
of 
higher 
temperatures 
arise,  the  
large  70mm cooling 
fan  starts 
spin
n
i
n
g
at a
comfortably 
low 
speed 
to 
keep 
the  system  
quiet.
