4.12.8 RAID

RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a data storage virtualization technology that
combines multiple physical HDD components into a single logical unit for data redundancy,
performance improvement, or both.

● RAID function is not available in all NVR models. See actual product specifications.

● Slight differences may be found in the user interface.
● The NVR supports RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID6, and RAID 10. Local hot spare supports RAID1,

RAID5, RAID6, and RAID10.

See below for the disk quantity required for each RAID type. See Table 4-77.

Table 4-77

RAID type

Required disk quantity

RAID0

At least 2.

RAID1

Only 2.

RAID5

At least 3, and using 4 disks to 6 disks is recommended.

RAID6

At least 4.

RAID10 (1+0)

4.13.8.1 Creation Manager

RAID has different types (such as RAID5, RAID6)  which have different data protection, data
availability, and performance grades.

See below for RAID creation steps.

Step 1

Select

Main Menu > Advanced Settings > Storage Settings

>

RAID

>

RAID

.

The RAID interface will be displayed. See Figure 4-246.

Figure 4-246

Step 2

You will have options for:

Create RAID

(one-click quick setup) or

Create Manually

,

and all the disks involved will be formatted.
