When RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 configuration is executed, the system will initialize the
hard drives, create the RAID device, format the RAID device, and mount it as a volume on
the NAS. The progress will be shown on the LCD panel. When it reaches 100%, the RAID
volume can be accessed. Users can create share folders and upload files to the folders on
the NAS. In the meantime, to make sure the stripes and blocks in all the RAID component
devices are ready, the NAS will execute RAID synchronization and the progress will be
shown on “Disk Management” > “Volume Management” page. The synchronization rate is
around 30–60 MB/s (vary by hard drive models, system resource usage, etc.)
Note:
If a member drive of the RAID configuration was lost during the synchronization, the
RAID device will enter degraded mode. The volume data is still accessible. If a new member
drive is added, the NAS will start to rebuild. The status can be checked on the “Volume
Management” page.
To encrypt the disk volume*, select “Yes” when the LCD panel shows <Encrypt
Volume?>.The default encryption password is “admin”. To change the password, please
login the web-based administration interface as an administrator and change the settings
in “Device Configuration” > “Disk volume Encryption Management”.
