Hard disks
The device supports hot swap. You don’t have to shutdown the system upon hard disk drive
removal or replacement while the system is running. In RAID 1 and RAID 5 mode, you can
remove and replace “one” hard disk and simply click on the
Recovery
button to recover files into
HD again. However, hot-swap hard disk drive in other mode will cause RAID stop and data loss.
Please rebuild RAID disk if you are in the situation.
Note:
Hot-swap in Linear and RAID 0 mode should NOT be done unless you know exactly what
you are doing.
