Chapter 3: System Administration

Please keep your USB disk in a safe place and also backup the encrypted

key.

There is no way to rescue data back if the key is lost.

With RAI� volume encryption enabled, the system performance will go

down.

RAID volumes with encryption enabled will be displayed with a key lock symbol next to volume ID
name.

Quick RAID — Enabled the quick RAID setting is going to enhance RAID creation time.

We recommend using the “Quick RAI�” setting only if the hard disks are

brand new or if no existing partitions are contained.

Specify a stripe size — 64K is the default setting.

Selected the file system you would like to have for this RAID volume. .

Press Submit to build the RAID storage volume.
