Normal Mode (Non-Raid):

Normal mode is the default setting of HDD enclosure, and will not use any

RAID mode. In Normal mode, both of the two hard disks inside the enclosure

are in an independent operation state, and also will be identified as two

separate drives in the system explorer. Users can choose any hard drive for

storing files. If one hard drive is damaged, the other hard drives data will not be

affected.

※

JBOD Mode (Spanning):

In JBOD mode two hard drives will be merged into one. Performance and

literacy speed will be the same as a single hard drive. The total capacity of the

portable hard drive is equal to the sum of the two hard drives combined. When

writing data to the JBOD array, the system will write date to the first disk. When

the storage space of the first disk is full the data will start be stored on the

second disk. If the data in the first disk is damaged, then all data in the array
