RAID Array *1
*1: LinkStation models with
multiple hard drives only
Congure RAID arrays from this menu. Several RAID modes are available for
LinkStation models with multiple hard drives. If RAID is disabled, the drives in
the LinkStation will be available as separate drives.
Notes:
• RAID 1 and 0 modes are available for LinkStations with 2 or more hard
drives.
• RAID 5 and 10 modes are available for LinkStations with 3 or more hard
drives.
[Disk Structure]:
To congure a RAID array, check the target drives, select a RAID mode, and
click [Create Raid Array]. To delete the RAID array, select [Delete RAID Array].
Warning: All data is lost when the RAID array is modied. Back up any
important data before changing RAID settings.
[RAID Array Error Detection Response]:
If shutdown is enabled, the LinkStation will automatically shut down when
a RAID 1 error is detected. RAID 0 arrays and drives in normal mode are not
aected by this setting.
The default setting is [Shutdown].
[RAID Array check speed]:
Select the RAID scanning speed from the following:
[High]: ~ 10 hours per TB
[Normal]: ~ 20 hours per TB
[Low]: ~ 100 hours per TB
RAID Scanning *1
*1: LinkStation models with
multiple hard drives only
A RAID scan tests your RAID array for errors. If errors are found, they are xed
automatically if possible. If you are using a RAID array, regular RAID scans are
recommended.
Recoverable errors found during standard le operations will be
automatically repaired regardless of whether RAID Scanning is enabled or
not.
Status Examples
Recoverable errors Read errors in data or system area of a RAID 1
array
Unrecoverable errors Write errors, RAID management area errors,
partition errors, drive detection failure
