NETGEAR Stora
Reconfigure
This button allows you to reformat your disks to either RAID1 or JBOD.
When you click the Reconfigure button, a screen displays showing which configuration you
currently use and provides the option to change it.
If you have one disk in your Stora, it is formatted as RAID1. If you have two disks in your
Stora, you can use either to use either RAID1 or just a bunch of disks (JBOD) disk format. It
is important to understand the advantages of the RAID1 and JBOD formats:
•
RAID1
. By using the RAID format and two disks, you can create a mirrored backup of the
first disk on the second disk and protect your data against disk failure.
•
JBOD
. If you have two disks in your Stora, you can increase your storage capacity by
choosing to use the disk as a second storage drive, rather than as a mirroring of the first
disk. To use the disk as a second storage drive, you must configure the disks as JBOD.
WARNING!
Although JBOD increases storage capacity to the total capacity of
both disks, it provides no protection against disk failure. Do not
use JBOD if you are storing important irreplaceable data.
NETGEAR assumes no responsibility for lost data and does not
offer data recovery services if a drive fails.
