Volume C: Media Files

You could then create one or more folders (shares) in each volume to suit your needs:

•

Volume A: Business Files

•

Share 1: Client Files

•

Share 2: Financial Files

•

Share 3: Human Resources Files

•

Volume B: Backup File Storage

•

Share 1: Daily Backups

•

Share 2: Month-end Backups

•

Volume C: Media Files

•

Share 1: Music Files

•

Share 2: Photo Files

•

Share 3: Video Files

Working with Volumes

By default, the available storage space in your BlackArmor server is configured into one
volume that’s protected by RAID 5.

Understanding RAID

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks and is a technology that builds
redundancy into your storage system to help keep your data safe from disk drive failures and
other catastrophes.

RAID comes in many levels, which vary according to the amount of protection they provide
(and how they provide it), and the number of disk drives they support.

By default, your BlackArmor server is preconfigured with RAID 5, which not only stores your
data safely but also builds in redundant information called

parity

, which is data that’s used to

reconstruct your files if one of the disk drives in the server fails.

You can choose to use a different level of RAID protection for your volumes—your
BlackArmor server supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, and JBOD (which stands for Just a
Bunch of Disks). However, RAID 5 is highly recommended as it provides the best level of
protection available on your BlackArmor server.
