Q3: If I mix two SATA II (3G) drives with different capacities, are there any
precautions I should take?
A3: Put the smaller capacity drive in upper bay and the larger one in lower bay is
recommended.
Q4: What should I be aware of when I plan to replace a failed drive with a brand
new one?
A4:
You don’t need to shut down the PC or ARAID M300 / MS300, just remove the
malfunctioning drive and re-insert the new drive while the ARAID M300 / MS300 is
online. The capacity (LBA amount) must be equal or greater than the old drive. Do
not mix a SATA I (1.5G) drive with SATA II (3G) drive in the ARAID.
Q5: What should I do if I want to use the HDD (with its security feature has been
enable by ARAID MS300) in other PC or ARAID series product?
A5:
User can contact Accordance’s Distributors or Local Agents to provide a special
version firmware of ARAID MS300. First of all, user needs to install this firmware
into ARAID MS300. After inserting this HDD and power on ARAID MS300, this
HDD’s data will be erased and security feature will be disabled. Then this HDD is
ready to be used as brand new one.

(for RAID 1 Users)
Q1: What should I do if the power fails while auto-rebuild is in progress?
A1: Just turn on the PC again, the disk rebuild will restart and continue, regardless of
whether you are rebuilding from primary to secondary (upper bay to lower bay) or
rebuilding from secondary to primary (lower bay to upper bay). The PC will boot
from the source drive, whether it is primary or secondary, then it will automatically
resume the disk rebuild procedure without further user intervention.
Q2: May I mix two SATA II (3G) drives with different capacities?
A2: Two drives with different capacities (LBA or Sectors amount are different) may
be used in ARAID M300 / MS300 when they meet following conditions (a)Have
no bad sector and in prefect mechanical and electrical condition (b)Same brand,
same family (c)Capacity difference is rarely a problem unless the difference
exceeds 30%. Accordance strongly recommends using identical drives.
