In hot-spare mode, the 4-drive TeraStation will
automatically switch over to a standby disk if
a disk in an array fails. Hot spare mode works
with RAID 5 (3 hard disks) or RAID 1 arrays.
Any data on the hot-spare disk will be erased if
the array switches over to it.
To configure a hot spare, first build a RAID 5 or
RAID 1 array. Leave at least one drive unused.
Navigate to
System/Storage/RAID Array
in the
Web Admin Tool and click on the RAID array
that you just created.
Check
Set as Spare Disk
and then click
Save
