Secure Key Token
The Three Secure Token keys have identical encryption code. It is recommended, one of these keys should be
kept in a safe and secure location. If you are down to the last key, make a backup of all the data stored inside
your Rocsecure DE51 tower prior to sending the last key to Rocstor for duplication.
Rocstor is not responsible for key lost in the mail or retrieval of the data inside the encrypted hard drive.
IDENTIFYING HARD DRIVES
If you are using the Rocsecure DE51 to encrypt multiple hard drives, it is important to label your hard drives if
you are taking the drive out of the DE51. The encrypted drive will act like a brand new drive when attach
directly to the SATA controller of a computer. There will be no partition or any hint to indicate that the drive
contains encrypted data. When the drive is partitioned, all the encrypted data will be lost. The same holds
true if a hard drive already has data on it is installed into the Rocsecure DE51. The computer detects the hard
drive as a brand new unallocated drive. Once you proceed to partition the drive, the data on the hard drive
will be erased and cannot be recovered.
PORT MULTIPLIER COMPATIBILITY
When configured as a set of individual drives and connected to a SATA or an eSATA host adapter, the Port
Multiplier will only work with a Port Multiplier aware host. This includes setting up the unit with more than
one array. Identify your host controller and check with its hardware manufacturer if you are unsure. Rocstor
offers several Port Multiplier aware host adapters.
Using identical drives for all settings other than JBOD or LARGE is strongly recommended. Creating a LARGE
array using drives that have different properties will use all space on all members, and performance will match
that of the member in use during any particular I/0 operation. Creating a RAID using drives that are not all the
same size will result in all members using only as much space as the smallest member. Creating a RAID using
drives that have different performance will degrade the overall performance of the array.
PORT MULTIPLIER MODES
The Port Multiplier supports individual drives (JBOD Mode), several types of RAID and some non-RAID drive
sets. Each configuration has different properties and requirements, as follows:
