MODE
DESCRIPTION
Single
A single hard drive is used. All data is lost in the event of a hard drive failure.
RAID functionality is not available in JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) mode. Data
is written sequentially on the designated disks. Both hard drives are combined to
form a single larger disk.
JBOD
Note:
If you are using two identical HDDs, it is recommended to use RAID 0.
Both hard drives are combined and the available capacity of each disk is added
into a single logical volume. Redundancy or parity is not available. RAID0 offers
the best performance, however, there is no disk failure protection.
RAID 0
Important:
If a single disk in RAID 0 fails, the data in both disks is inaccessible due to the
RAID 0 cross-disk writing function.
Dual hard drives are required. RAID 1 is a secure mode, providing mirroring
functionality. The data is duplicated between both HDDs, and, in the event of a
single disk failure, the data is available in the healthy disk. RAID 1 is recom-
mended for disk failure protection. However, available disk space is reduced by
50% due to the mirroring function.
RAID 1
IMPORTANT:
Changing RAID types erases all data stored on your storage disks. If there is
saved data on the drive(s), backup your data before proceeding.
The Disk Manager function displays model, capacity and status of the available hard
drives. You can view the health status, remove, check, format, and unmount a disk
drive.
Creating a RAID Mode
IMPORTANT:
Changing RAID types erases all data stored on your storage disks.If there is
saved data on the drive(s), backup your data before proceeding.
In a Single Disk Volume, a second drive is not supported. After creating a Single
Disk Volume, you must power off the system before installing a second hard
drive.
CAUTION:
[3.1.1] Installing a second hard drive in a Single Disk Volume while the system
is powered on is not recommended.

Auto Mirroring
By using RAID 1, you can duplicate data between two hard drives. A minimum of two
HDDs are required for auto mirroring (RAID 1). The Auto Mirror function allows you to
enable or disable the Auto Mirror function available for RAID 1 mode.
A second hard drive must be installed prior to enabling the auto mirroring function.
Note:
Auto mirroring is only available for RAID 1 mode. Depending on the type and
size of HDDs, the rebuilding of your second drive for mirroring may take several
hours. Do not turn off the power or interrupt the system during this process to
prevent damage to the system or your hard drives.
The auto mirroring setup will require the formatting of the new drive. Make sure
you backup all data before starting this process.
