With a RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 volume, you can also add a spare disk
after the RAID is created.
See Chapter 6: Tips and Tricks > Adding a Spare Disk for details.
For more information on RAID, see Appendix C: RAID Basics.
RAID Level
You can set the storage volume as JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 or
RAID 10. 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.
