Clone Mode
When 2 drives are
connected to the HPM-X
U
,
and DIP switch is set to this
setting, the 2 drives will be
configured as a 2-drive
RAID1 array.
Clone’s action is similar to
RAID1. However, all of the
hard drives will be mirrored.
Clone mode is useful
especially when users like
to copy data from a source
hard drive to the drives
connected to the HPM-X
U
.
RAID Setting Notes:
When 4 drives are connected to the HPM-X
U
, the 4 drives will be
configured as a 4-drive RAID10 array.
