Disk 

– The hard disk drive device name. The first disk drive is named “/dev/sda”. 

Size (GB) – 

The capacity size of the hard disk drive. 

Model 

– The hard disk drive model name. 

Status 

– The current status of the hard disk drive. Status can be “RAID_MEMBER”, 

“UN_USED”,  or “SPARE”. 

 

Disk Information  Options:

 

Set Spare

3.1.1.1   Create New RAID and Join Disk to Storage Pool

 

 

Steps to Create a New RAID and Join Disk to Storage Pool:

 

1.   

Click “Create New RAID”. 

2.   

Set the RAID Level and Stripe size, and select the hard disk drives to be included in 
the RAID disk. 

 

 

RAID Configuration  Options:

 

RAID Level 

– Select the RAID Level you want for the RAID configuration.  Available 

options, depending  on number of disk drives, are: JBOD, 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10. 

Stripe Size 

– Set the size of the stripe (block size or chunk size) written to each 

disk drive. Default is 64KB. Other options are: 128KB, 256KB, 512KB and 
1024KB. 

 

NOTE: A large stripe size produces better read performance  if the NAS

 

does mostly sequential reads.  If the NAS will do mostly random 
reads, small stripe size is recommended.
