Creating a RAID Volume

On SmartStor, the term RAID Volume refers to one or more disk drives working
together as a RAID logical drive.

You can also use a USB disk to create a RAID Volume. See “Viewing an External
USB Drive or Memory Stick” on page 237.

You must have unassigned disk drives in your SmartStor to create a new RAID.

To create a new RAID Volume:

Click the

Administration

topic and choose the

RAID & File System

icon to

expand the Tree.

In the Tree, click the

RAID Management

icon.

Click the

Create

tab.

From the RAID Level dropdown menu, choose the RAID level you prefer for
your disk array.

See “Choosing a RAID Level” on page 300 for more information.

Highlight disk drives in the Free Disks column and click the

button to

move them to the Disks in RAID column.

Click the

button.

In the confirmation box, click the

button.

The RAID Volume is created and formatting begins. Formatting requires
several minutes, depending on the size of your disk drives.

After formatting is done, you must create folders on your RAID Volume. See
“Adding a Folder” on page 226.
