1. Only one interface connection may be used at once per computer system.
2. RAID volume formation utilizes the capacity of whichever hard drive has the smallest and then multiply that capacity by three for
RAID 5, four for RAID 0, to form a large volume, therefore, it is recommended to only install hard drives of the same brand and
specification for all drive position prior to use. Moreover, when you need to replace with a new hard drive, please be sure to
purchase one with the same specification, capacity and brand. If these conditions can’t be met, select one that’s at least 20 GB
greater in capacity.
3. The actual storage capacity of GR4670-WSB3 recognized by the system may differ from the total capacity stated on the hard
drives once the drives have been formatted.
4. When connected to the computer system, it’s prohibited to remove, insert or swap the hard drive while data transfer is being
performed.
5. It’s prohibited to change the positioning of the drives once the initial installation has been completed as the changes made to the
drive positions may destroy the RAID formation.
6. If you discover that hard drive failure is taking place, go to Section 6 “Replacement of Malfunctioning Drive and Data Rebuild
Instructions” and follow the steps accordingly.
7. Whenever turning off or unplugging the GR4670-WSB3 from your computer system becomes necessary, always remember to
safely remove it from your operating system first.
8. In RAID 5 mode, the system allows one single hard drive failure. If multiple drive failures occur at once, it’s likely that all data
stored in the system have been destroyed or lost. In RAID 0 mode, if one hard drive failure occurs, then all data maybe destroyed
or lost. If this happens, we recommend you to consult with a professional hard drive data recovery specialist to see if your data
may be recoverable.
9. It is highly recommended for users to back up important data contained within the GR4670-WSB3 unit on a regular basis or
whenever the user feels necessary to a remote or a separate storage device. RAIDON will not be responsible for any lost of data
caused during the use of the unit or the recovery of the data lost.
