Hard Drive Conguration
The next part of the setup wizard helps you to congure your hard drive storage. The DNS-320L oers four options for hard
drive storage conguration. You should choose the option which best suits your storage, redundancy, and backup needs.
The RAID Conguration window provides more detailed Physical Disk
information. Here you can analyze your Disk, Vendor, Model number, Serial
number, and Disk size. Under Select RAID Type, there are four options to
choose from:
y Standard (default) - This option creates one or more volumes on each
hard drive which is inserted into the NAS. Each hard drive will have its
own volume. Please skip to Standard RAID on page 30 to continue the
setup process using this option.
y JBOD - This option combines the two hard drives into one or more vol-
umes, but does not use a RAID conguration. Please skip to JBOD on
page 33 to continue the setup process using this option.
y RAID 0 - This option splits data evenly across the two drives to create
one array. The size of the array will be limited to the twice the size of the
smallest hard drive in use. Please skip to RAID 0 on page 36 to continue the
setup process using this option.
y RAID 1 - This option uses one hard drive for storage, and the other hard
drive to create a mirror of the rst drive for redundancy. If the rst hard
drive fails, the second hard drive will serve as the primary storage drive
until the failed drive is replaced. Please skip to RAID 1 on page 39 to con-
tinue the setup process using this option.
Note: You can skip this step if you have set up this system before.
