Disks
Format Disk
Formatting a drive or array will erase all volumes on the drive or array. After formatting a disk
from the Web Admin interface, you must allocate a partition and format it before it is usable.
Use [Disk Management] on Windows to allocate a partition and format it.
Checking [Encryption] before formatting encrypts the drive or array with 128 bit AES encryption.
Only the TeraStation will be able to read the disk after that. To unencrypt the hard drive,
uncheck [Encryption] and format it again.
Remove Disk
Before physically removing a drive from the TeraStation, select the drive and click [Remove Disk]
to dismount the disk. It’s then safe to remove it.
Rediscover Disk After dismounting and removing a disk, click here to have the TeraStation recognize a
replacement drive without restarting the TeraStation.
RAID Array
RAID Array
By default, the TeraStation is in RAID 5 mode. You may configure any of the following RAID
modes: RAID 5, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 0.
To configure a RAID array, check the hard drives to use, select RAID mode, and click [Create Raid
Array].
• To build a RAID 1 array, check 2 drives.
• To build a RAID 10 or RAID 0 array, check all drives.
• To build a RAID 5 array, check 3 or 4 drives.
• To delete an array, click [Delete RAID Array].
Changing RAID modes will erase all data on the array. Back up any important data before
changing the RAID mode.
If you have a leftover drive after building a RAID 5 array with 3 drives, or a RAID 1 array, it can be
set as a hot spare by clicking [Set to spare-disk]. Click [Set to normal disk] to change it back to a
normal drive.
• [RAID Array Error Detection Response]:
With a RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 10 array, you may choose to have the system shut down
automatically if an error is detected. This feature is not available for RAID 0 arrays or disks in
normal mode. By default, this is set to [Shutdown].
• [Boot with iSCSI service]:
After an error occurs, the iSCSI service may be enabled or disabled at the next boot. By default,
it will be enabled.
• [RAID Array check speed]:
Select the speed of the RAID Scan from the following:
[High]: 10 hours per 1 TB RAID Array
[Normal]: 20 hours per 1 TB RAID Array
[Low]: 100 hours per 1 TB RAID Array
