DISK ORGANIZATION
The XT-HDX can hold up to 15 disks organized in 3 RAIDs of 5 disks.
The disks are organized in the following way:
1 XT-HDX : 15 Disks
RAID 0 - Disk 0 RAID 1 - Disk 0 RAID 2 - Disk 0 RAID 0 - Disk 1 RAID 1 - Disk 1 RAID 2 - Disk 1 RAID 0 - Disk 2 RAID 1 - Disk 2 RAID 2 - Disk 2 RAID 0 - Disk 3 RAID 1 - Disk 3 RAID 2 - Disk 3 RAID 0 - Disk 4 RAID 1 - Disk 4 RAID 2 - Disk 4
RAID #0
RAID #1
RAID #2

Note on Disk LEDs Activity
When starting from a clean disk array (after a “Clear Video Disks” from
the EVS maintenance menu), the XT[2] server is recording first on
RAID #0 until this one is full, then on RAID #1 and finally on RAID #2.
It is therefore normal to see activity only on 5, 10 or 15 disks
depending on how much material (clips and record trains) is stored on
the server.
