RAID 0

RAID level 0 is disk striping only, which distribute data
evenly over multiple disks for better performance. It
does not provide safeguards against failure.

RAID level 0 uses two or more hard disks.

RAID 1

RAID level 1 uses disk mirroring, which provides
100% duplication of data. It offers high reliability, but
doubles storage cost.

RAID level 1 uses two hard disks.

RAID 5

RAID level 5 distributes data and parity bits over
multiple disks for both performance and fault
tolerance. A RAID volume can still work when a hard
disk fails.

RAID level 5 uses three or more hard disks. Building a
RAID-5 volume may take hours depending on
capacity.

Hot Spare

The hot-spare disks are global, which means they are
not bound to any specific RAID volumes. Whenever a
RAID volume goes degraded because of a bad hard
disk, a hot-spare disk will be taken immediately to
recover that RAID volume.

Write-Once Volume:

When setting a Write-Once volume, you are not allowed to erase or change what you have written

on this volume. This

setting CANNOT be reverted in any situation, please think it twice before you

enable it.

5.3 Deleting a Volume

To delete a volume, go to the

Volume

Æ

Delete

page. Select the volume to be deleted and click

the

Delete

button. Please be very careful because all data in the volume will be destroyed and the

RAID configuration will be erased also. All hard disk members in this volume will become free
disks after the deletion.

5.4 Expanding a RAID-5 Volume

RAID-5 volume expansion makes it possible to enlarge volume capacity without rebooting the

NAS-3410. Volume capacity grows on the fly. Moreover, you do not have to change any share

permissions, security controls and quota settings after volume expansion. Storage management

becomes much easier.

To expand a RAID-5 volume, please go to the

Volume

Æ

Expand

page. Select a RAID-5 volume to

be expanded. Then choose the free disks as new members. Click

Apply

to submit changes. The

progress of RAID expansion is shown on the

Volume

Æ

page.
