3.9.1 Connecting External USB Hard Drives
The easiest way to increase the NSA’s storage capacity is to connect an external USB hard
drive. External USB hard drives are great for providing storage capacity for scheduled
backups and snapshots of internal volumes. (External volumes can be the destination for a
scheduled backup or snapshot, but only an internal volume can be the source.) Use the
following procedure.
1
Connect the external USB hard drive to
USB1
or
USB2
on the NSA’s front panel.

Connecting a USB Hard Drive
2
Click
Storage > External Volumes
and make sure the USB drive displays with a
healthy status.

The NSA automatically creates volumes for the USB drive. You just need to configure sharing
settings (
Chapter 8 on page 173
) to let your users use it.
3.9.2 Adding an Internal Hard Drive to an Existing Disk Array
If you do not already have four disks installed, you can install more. You can add a new disk to
an existing JBOD array or three-disk RAID 5 array. When you add a new disk to an existing
array, you do not have to create new volumes and sharing settings.
For optimal performance and RAID storage capacity, use hard drives of the same speed and
capacity.
