RAID Level
You can set the storage volume as JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1. RAID configuration is
usually required only when you first set up the device. A brief description of each
RAID setting follows:
RAID Levels
Level Description
JBOD The storage volume is a single HDD with no RAID support. JBOD
requires a minimum of 1 disk.
RAID 0 Provides data striping but no redundancy. Improves performance
but not data safety. RAID 0 requires a minimum of 2 disks.
RAID 1 Offers disk mirroring. Provides twice the read rate of single disks,
but same write rate. RAID 1 requires a minimum of 2 disks.
If the administrator improperly removes a hard disk that should not be
removed when RAID status is degraded, all data will be lost.
