GL-35DSR Getting Started
6. Select the drive mode from the list. If you have installed only one HDD, select “Single Drive”,
or otherwise, for two HDDs select “Dual Drive”. Click OK to continue.
If you have installed two hard drives and selected the “Dual Drive” mode, you can now
select the RAID mode. Select “RAID 1” to create a mirror copy of all data on the second
drive or select “JBOD/BIG” to create one large volume and combine the capacity of both
drives. Click OK to continue.
RAID 1
Two drives show up as one volume but only 50% of the total capacity. RAID 1 creates an
exact copy (or mirror) of a set of data on the second drive. This is useful when reliability
and backup take precedence over storage capacity. Should one hard drive fail, it can be
replaced and the data rebuilt automatically.
RAID0
The drives show up as one large single volume, combining the capacities of all drives.
RAID0 is an array that is written sequentially across the drives. By itself, it does not provide
any performance or redundancy benefits. However, if one drive becomes damaged, the
whole array can become corrupted.
BIG
The drives show up as one large single volume, combining the capacities of all drives. By
itself, it does not provide any performance or redundancy benefits. It is ideal for drives with
different capacities, making use of the maximum storage capacity. However, if one drive
becomes damaged, the whole array can become corrupted.
